the flex-fuel tahoe & Avalanche aren't too bad
I don't think the whole flex-fuel thing is all its made out to be. ?Check it out!

*Ethanol supporters and detractors agree that ethanol reduces gas mileage, because of its lower energy content. But by how much? The Iowa Corn Growers E85 Web site says that if you have a flex-fuel vehicle and burn E85 (85% ethanol, 15% regular gasoline), you'll experience a gas mileage drop of 5-15% compared with regular gasoline. Taking the middle, a car that gets 25 mpg on regular gas would get 22.5 mpg on E85.
*Others say the gas mileage penalty for E85 is more severe. For instance, a story in USA Today this week told its millions of readers that the E85 mileage penalty is 28%. That means your 25 mpg car now only gets 18 mpg if you flex to E85.

I used to have a Taurus flex and the mileage is about 25% less in it. It was actually more expensive. Putting that aside, using E85 supports the farmers and the domestic economy rather than the middle east.
