Now that’ll make sense for sure! And if they bang into heritage they should do a Dukes of Hazard running on moonshine 🥃🍾 Now obviously with so many snowflakes and haters around that’ll be just a dream a cool one mind you 😉
Aug 15-17th Road kill nights in Detroit is when they will announce what's coming !!
Why not? Don't forget, E85 is better for the environment.

That’s exactly what I’m hoping for…that maybe this is paving the way for the not-yet-released Stage 3 Direct Connection kit, maybe!
Indeed.
20 - 30% more fuel for E85, stainless lines, etc. Should be a pretty cool endeavor.
Not sure how they got this past California unless it’s arriving at the dealership with RedEye power and gets modified after. They could get away with fuel pump, fuel line, injector upgrades at the factory then PCM swap after delivery?
That post is true on the consumption of E85 by the car. But the extra farming and lack of cover crops and poor farming practices by the majority of farmers offsets any savings at the engine. They actually say when factoring in from start to finish that E85 is actually more harmful to climate change. Something like 25% more carbon to produce when factoring in everything!
U.S. corn-based ethanol worse for the climate than gasoline, study finds and there are more studies coming out all the time stating similar things
Side note a similar problem exists with meat-less food (i.e. veggie burgers and whatever that whopper was called ?impossible whopper?)

Hope it happens for all the obvious reasons but it actually creates a bigger carbon footprint that gasoline when you factor in the fertilizer, diesel fuel to plant, maintain, and harvest along with energy consumed in distillation and transportation. Alcohol would not even be in the blend if not for some archaic subsidies that benefit the corn growers and distillers at the expense of the taxpayer. It also is not taxed at the same rate as gasoline. Another boondoggle. Still, what comes out of the tailpipe is better and the performance is a known entity. Hope it happens - I would assume the E85 will always be around knowing that government incentives created 22 million cars that are flex fuel compatible in the US. Bring it on - I'll be first in line. Don't know why the cost should be much higher? Didn't add much to the cost of an Impala - they have offered flex fuel for at least 15 years.
