2003 ford taurus lx e85

Carmakers are in favor of using E85 because it gives them "green credentials" by allowing vehicles to run on home-grown fuel. DaimlerChrysler says it sold nearly 250,000 E85 flex-fuel vehicles in 2007, and hopes to sell twice that number in 2008. Models with a flex-fuel option include:

* Jeep Commander 4.7L
* Jeep Cherokee 4.7L
* Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.7L
* Dodge Dakota 4.7L
* Dodge Durango 4.7L
* Dodge Ram 4.7L
* Dodge Caravan 3.3L
* Grand Caravan 3.3L
* Chrysler Town and Country 3.3L
Not to be left behind, Toyota has announced it too will begin selling E85 flex-fuel version of its Tundra pickup truck in 2008.
