  biofuels GOP twist

  Consumer Reports Oct 06 article entitled the ethonol myth shows how GOP math in Federal regulations allows GM to say a two-wheel drive Tahoe normally rated at 21 mpg, because it is built to run on E85, is EPA rated at 35 mpg! That report also compared actual mpg, acceleration, and emissions with E-85 and gasoline in their Tahoe. For GM buying regulations is cheaper than developing true hybrids. My 05 Prius (for which I waited 11 months) averages in the upper 40s mpg, but developing their hybrid system cost Toyota lots of dollars.On How the world got addicted to oil, and where biofuels will take us posted 2 years, 11 months ago 28 Responses
