Hummer, which is still part of General Motors for the time being, says that its 2010 lineup will offer E85 biofuel capability in every model now that the automaker’s best-selling H3 and H3T will be available with a 5.3-liter, E85-ready V8.
“In 2007, Hummer committed to offer a biofuel powertrain in every vehicle by 2010 and follows through on that promise with the addition of a new 300-horsepower, E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3-liter V8,” said James Taylor, Hummer CEO.
The E85-ready engine will come standard on all Hummer H3 and H3T Alpha models. It’s the same unit found under the hood of a number of other GM products ranging from full-size pickups and SUVs to the H3’s Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon platform mates.
Hummer also says that a trio of new colors, Red Rock Metallic, Silver Stone Metallic and Canyon Metallic, round out the changes for the 2010 H3. Pricing has not changed from 2009 for the base H3, and while it’s up $165 for an H3T, the H3T Alpha will cost $335 less than before.

Ethanol is good as dead. Its stupid to use up valuable farm land intended for groing food to grow corn that would be converted to fuel. GM is really behind the times. I guess anyone stupid enough to buy a car which is slang for “blow job” is behind in the head.

I understand the need for ethanol. You need to put some “wood” into Chinese owned Hummer. Otherwise it looks smaller

ACC, you are a bit behind the times. Ethanol is coming from our garbage now.

Once gas hits $4 again this stock will go outa site. Also by law the 2011 quota is 250 million gallons of ethanol replacing oil based gasoline. The quota eventually rises to 16 billion gallons by 2022.

E-85 has got to be the most stupidest and pointless thing I’ve ever seen. Of course something pioneered by the two retards GM and Chrysler who depend on it heavily while the smarter Ford and foreign companies only make them E85 capable but don’t depend on the technology to survive. You go to the gas station more often now and on top of that you create now a shortage of food. Way to go at another retarted invention that will never succeed GM!!

No no NMOFGM. You should be anti-hummer now. What’s wrong with you? You should be saying. “No! The chinese will ruin hummer which was once a legend in quality while under GM!!” Which of course is BS.

WTF? GM, why?
CARB itself just released a report saying E85 pollutes more than gasoline. That means it IS NOT green. This is the biggest waste of money trying to show you are “green” by making your cars E85 ready. STOP IT ALREADY. Focus your money where it counts.
