Disappointing but not unexpected, given that the federal execs are solid (and usually long-term) members of the “1% Club.” How hypocritical. Instead of setting the example, I would be very surprised if the federal government’s executive fleet fuel economy is anywhere near the nation’s average. Regrettable, but it’s how they run their country. On the bright side, our local military senior officers are using Escape and Lincoln hybrids, and it is a good example to follow.

I only need one station- not hundreds in my area– to fuel up. My state has about 140 stations (http://e85prices.com for a list of stations and a map) so I have plenty of places to fill up wherever I go. And now with gasoline at $3.89, and E85 at $2.89, ethanol is a better financial bargain for the taxpayer too.

Whats the problem for Fed in buying E85 directly from Ethanol companies at a cheaper price.

Here is the list of flexfuel vehicles and GMs sells so many vehicles with V4 engines which should give much better mileage with 6-speed tranny. Domestic fuel, more local jobs, cleaner fuel and no need to borrow to buy foreign oil.
