Did you know that most of the gasoline cars can be resonably easily converted to also run E85 ethanol based fuel. A finnish company Eflexfuel manufactures this easy-to-install kit. It measures the ethanol content from the fuel line so you can run either ethanol or gasoline or any mixture.
I installed a kit to my 08 outback three years ago, and have been enjoying it.
Main benefits:
- Redundancy as the car is not so much dependent on fossil (imported) oil. Ethanol can be brewed from biowaste locally.
- Cheaper pump price (Real saving is low typically <10cents per liter as the MPG is reduced with e85)
- Less enviromental impact. (e85 calculated to emit up to 80% less "lifetime emissions")
- Nicer smell :D The exhaust smells much like a portable alcohol camaping stove.
My favourite car youtuber just relased a video of how easy it is to convert a car to run E85 without conpromising the possibility to run gasoline anytime. I also installed it myself - it took one short evening and cost ~300€ at the time.
