Video:The Push for 'Flex-Fuel' Vehicles

the push for 'flex-fuel' vehicles

although they've been working on vehicles that run on ethanol for more than a decade, ford motor co. and general motors corp. are now making an aggressive push into the alternative fuel.

last week, gm ran its first national advertising campaign promoting one of its so-called flex-fuel vehicles, the chevy tahoe. ford last month began selling flex-fuel versions of its popular f-150 pickup. vehicles that are designated flex-fuel are capable of running on gasoline but can use the alternative e85, a fuel mix that is 85% ethanol and 15% gas.

both auto makers are also helping to increase the number of ethanol fueling pumps at gas stations around the country. at least five million vehicles that can run on e85 fuel already are on the road -- but most operate on gasoline alone because of the unavailability of ethanol. access to ethanol is still sparse. only about 600 gasoline stations out of 180,000 in the u.s. carry e85, concentrated largely in the midwest -- with roughly 200 of those in minnesota. still, that number more than doubled in 2005 and is expected to increase fivefold this year, said phillip lampert, executive director of the national ethanol vehicle coalition, a group that promotes ethanol use. "this has been an uphill battle," he says, but in the past several months, "people have begun to take notice."

in november, ford said it will work with brookings, s.d.-based ethanol producer verasun energy corp. to convert existing fuel pumps to e85. gm last week said it would lead a project in california to get the state department of transportation to use between 50 and 100 of its flex-fuel impalas while chevron corp. will add ethanol pumps at some gas stations near the agency's offices.

ford and gm combined will produce 650,000 vehicles next year that can use e85, which currently costs about $2 a gallon. ethanol -- which is distilled from corn and grain -- gets less mileage per gallon than gasoline. vehicles that use only gas get 5% to 12% better fuel economy, according to national ethanol vehicle coalition.

there's good reason for gm and ford to make the push. there's a green war among auto makers to appear environmentally conscious to their customers, a battle in which ford, and particularly gm, are coming up short.
