GM has over 2 million FlexFuel Vehicles on the road today in all 50 states, able to operate on gasoline or on a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. By 2012, GM in partnership with Daimler-Chrysler and Ford, aim to have half of annual vehicle production be E85 flexible fuel or bio-diesel capable. So, you can choose the fuel that's best for you. That's good to know, because E85 fuel is not yet widely available. Also, vehicles running on E85 may have a cruising range that is about 25% shorter than the same vehicle operating on regular gasoline.
