Mitsubishi Motors to launch 100% ETHANOL CAR

M'bishi Motors to launch 100% ethanol car

Jun. 21 TOKYO, Japan
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said on June 21 it will roll out the Pajero TR4 Flex, its first vehicle to run completely on ethanol, in Brazil in July, in an effort to establish a stronger presence in the fast-growing alternative fuel car market. The four-wheel-drive vehicle powered by a 2-liter 16-valve engine can run on any mixture of gasoline and ethanol, the Japanese automaker said. (Kyodo)


E85(85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) is cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline. King's station near the University at Albany recently retailed E85 for $2.599 a gallon versus $3.149 for regular unleaded. But since ethanol has less energy than gasoline, fuel economy drops 10 to 15 percent when cars run on E85.

E100(100% ethanol) should work out much much cheaper, we can bet on Mitsubishi to improve on the fuel economy as well.

So i am looking forward to driving these soon! Are you?
