E-85 Flex Fuel

[bizwebpage]

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!!!
Recently I bought a 4cyl. S-10 pickup. The gas mileage was terrible.
I took it to a shop with diagnostic equipment and they said the could find nothing wrong. It was suggested I take to the Chevrolet dealer.
I did and their shop said nothing was wrong. After insisting the service manager check the manufacturer's spec's on this vehicle his face turned white! This vehicle had a E-85 Flex Fuel System which EPA certifies the gas mileage for it to be lowered from 19 to 14 miles per gallon.
With this derated fuel system, Chevrolet also installs a 4:10 rear end.
This also lowers the gas mileage another 2 miles per gallon. Well guess what, even the factory Chevrolet representative agreed this tiny 4 cylinder pickup truck is a 12 mile per gallon vehicle!
Therefore, I would warn anyone purchasing another vehicle to first insure it does not have a E-85 flex fuel system installed. I have since discovered this fuel system is installed on other manufacturer's vehicles including the Japanese Honda.
Be forewarned, you may be the next victim of the federal "Alternative Fuels Act!"
