Flex Fuels
From a look at vehicles and carbon emissions.
American flex-fuel wonders include the 2006 Chevy Tahoe 1500, for which greenhouse gas emissions running on pure gasoline weigh in at 11.0 tons of CO2. E85 ethanol improves (ha!) that to a measly 9.4 tons (for comparison: a conventionally fueled Honda Civic does 5.5 tons and a Prius does 3.4 tons). (mpg and CO2 figures from www.fueleconomy.gov)
