Flex Fuel 2009 H2 - my interest is up

[JayH]

I currently have a 2008 H2 that I blend ethanol in. I blend at 30% and it has not changed my mileage at all. In fact the rough idle issue on the '08s is completely gone once I begain blending at that percentage.

As far as ethanol causing increase in food costs that is a myth. The two factors that conribute to the increase is higher cost of manufacturing and increase transportation charges. There are many more that could be listed;ie: labor, utilities, land cost, taxes and so on.

On the flip side of ethanol, I would rather my money stayed in the US and helped the farmers than continuing to send it overseas. Ethanol is not the solution to the fuel problem but a bridge to offset our oil consumption until other sources can be found and/or developed. If we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil by 30%, wouldn't that just make a lot of sense?!
