Automakers need to meet certain government standards for the fuel economy of their fleets. For flex-fuel cars, fuel economy is calculated based on the assumption that their owners use 50 percent gasoline and 50 percent ethanol. But the reality is that just 1 percent of the nation’s flexible-fuel vehicles actually use what’s known as E85—85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. The remaining 99 percent are using good old-fashioned gasoline. Here’s why that’s an issue. Automakers need to meet certain government standards for the fuel economy of their fleets.

It will be much more beneficial if americans will switch to "gas savers" - cars, that are much more economical that SUV's, pickup's and vans. That's really can help to cut a lot of money on car expenditures. I’m not actually sure that ethanol is a good idea.
