Car manufacturers are producing more and more "green" vehicles which will run seaminglessly on either E85 fuel - a blend of 85% ethanol & 15% unleaded gasoline - or regular unleaded gasoline. Ethanol is a clean-burning fuel produced primarily from corn and other field-grown grains. Generally, E85 fuel tends to be 16% cheaper per gallon than regular gasoline while providing an octane rating commensurable with premium gas.

In recent years, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, GM, Isuzu, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz have started producing these alternative fuel vehicles, also known as Flexible Fuel Vehicles, or FFVs. The move to E85 fuel has been endorsed by President Obama but fuel stations in the I-75 corridor have been slow to take off. Here is a convenient listing (in southbound I-75 sequence) provided by our reader Tim Murphy of Windsor, Ontario, who drives to Florida in his Flexible Fuel 2008 Chrysler Sebring each year. Tim has also provided us with several useful references for those who would like to learn more about these vehicles and E-85 fuel.
