What is Flex Fuel?

I went to the store tonight and another HHR -same color was their and jokingly, I pulled in next to it. Went inside , got my stuff real quick nd joked wih the owner. As I left, it had an emblem on the back by the "LT" that said Flex Fuel blah blah blah>

What is that?

Yes but you get this cool emblem on the back that makes you look green and keeps all the eviro nuts from burning you vehicle.

Hmm. E85 is currently 5-6 cents higher than regular gas. E85 gets about 30-35% less mpg than regular gas. So that means more fill ups at higher cost. E85 does, however, put less of this this nasty CO2 business in the air. So, I can spend $1500 more a year to starve the trees. Sounds like a plan.
