“Until E85 is 60% the cost of gasoline, using it makes absolutely no sense to me. If I’m going to get 60% of the fuel mileage for 95% of the cost of conventional gasoline, where is the incentive to switch?”

You’re right, what good can possibly come from cutting down dependence on foreign oil?

Renton you idiot ethanol has higher octane than gasoline.

Nearly every gas station in the country has E10 now. It says somewhere in little print that they gas may contain 10% ethanol. I don’t think a RX-7 would do bad on E10 it has a higher octane raiting then regular gas.

I wonder how well a Mazda RX-7 FD would take to E10 Gasoline. I’m going to guess the results would be expensive about ten miles down the road.

Build a real 2+2 sports coupe and I’ll give you some money, Bill.

If gasoline continues its upward march, it may be economically feasible. I think this is a hellova marketing idea. Speaking of dead dinosaur, Fords cars and trucks are in that category.

Furthermore, why is BioDiesel just as expensive as conventional diesel?

Answer to your question above: Ford wants the easy way out.

Bold Moves, Yeah Right.

Completely agree with Jon. E85 may slightly reduce some dependence on foreign oil, but it is still expensive and the miles per gallon with E85 is less than with regular gasoline. An E85-ready Explorer that gets 16 mpg with regular gets around 12 with E85, and that means more time at the pumps. If Ford Motor Company wants to turn around, they should begin pioneering other types of power sources. From what I understand, Volvo is heavily researching alternative fuels, so why doesn’t Ford as a whole begin doing this?

Ford should stop thinking about ethanol and move directly to either electric cars or hydrogen. Ford: do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to hydrogen / electric car R&D and production.

Ford needs to put passion in its automobiles. The 1949 mercury and ford were nothing more than family sedans but they are celebrated as icons. Ford will not die; the government will bail them out like they did the old Chrysler corp., the airlines after 9/11 and the farming industry every damn year. It’s just sad to see a great company tumbling and not knowing where to go. My 30 something urbanite sister with a new family is seriously considering a Milan so all is not lost.
