Why convert to E85?
The Fuel Flex Bi-Fuel or FlexFuel conversion system is one of the most intuitive on the market. Fuel Flex Platinum works with your vehivles OBD emissions and fuel mapping systems which creates an automated transition between gas and ethanol. Since the fuel map is automatically set for your vehicle, you just need to fill up with whichever mixture of ethanol and gas you choose. The Fuel Flex Platinum will determine the rest. A truly "plug and play" solution.Other Reasons

Environment
E85 has the highest oxygen content of any transportation fuel available today, making it burn cleaner than gasoline. Fewer exhaust emissions result in reduced production of smog and a decline in respiratory illness associated with poor air quality. E85 also reduces greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, the main contributor to global warming, as much as 39 to 46 percent compared to gasoline.Since E85's main ingredient is ethanol, which is non-toxic, water soluble and biodegradable, E85 is simply a better fuel for the world around us.
Energy Independence
Energy independence was forefront in the minds of Americans during the 1970s when gas prices soared and lines formed at every gas station. Consumers responded with energy saving practices and smaller cars...and then quickly forgot. We forgot that using less oil is only one part of the solution. Ultimately we need to be more energy independent.Twenty years later, prices are again soaring and consumers are demanding answers. Well, this time E85 offers an alternative. E85 is a home-grown alternative fuel produced from crops and waste products. It is environmentally good for us -- think of it...turning waste into fuel! It is economically good for us -- stabilizing commodity prices and increasing U.S. jobs. It is good for our transportation needs -- with more than 750,000 flexible fuel vehicles on the market this year.
E85 and the Economy
As was the case in the early 1970s, the American motorist has recently experienced a new run-up in the price of motor gasoline. The oil shortages of 1973-74 were the result of an embargo; the oil charges of 1991 were the result of the Gulf War; while the price spike of early 2000 was the result of planned supply reductions which increased the price of crude oil from $11 to $32 per barrel. This increased price of imported oil has also been the primary cause of the U.S. balance of trade deficit setting record after record, month after month.The United States imports over 53 percent of its total energy and uses more energy than any other nation in the world. The use of alternative fuels, including propane, natural gas, methanol, electricity, and ethanol, will all contribute to a reduction in the amount of crude oil used in vehicle operations.
Not only does using E85 help reduce American dependence on foreign oil, but because Ethanol is produced from crops grown in the U.S., it can also help stabilize commodity prices. And because E85 is a viable, home-grown alternative to gasoline, E85 provides competition, which is good for consumers.
In the near future, a wide range of waste products will be used to produce ethanol, further developing our national energy independence.Ethanol production is estimated to increase net farm income more than $4.5 billion. It boosts employment by 200,000 jobs and improves the balance of trade by over $2 billion.The pricing for E85 is comparable to traditional gasoline.
