It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American ... all » technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?"

Flex Fuel Vehicles

"The vehicles are able to run on gasoline that is made of 85 percent ethanol, normal gasoline or any combination thereof. Ethanol is a renewable resource that can be made from crops like sugar cane, corn or potatoes. Bio-fuels like ethanol are also good for the environment - reducing carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants.

Other countries have already made great strides in gaining energy independence. In Brazil, nearly 90 percent of the vehicles they currently sell are ethanol or gas compatible, and 90 percent of Brazilian service stations offer ethanol. There are currently about 600 service stations in the U.S. that offer 85 percent ethanol fuel - nearly twice as many as two years ago.
