" CAFE " Dual-fuel vehicles, such as E85 capable models, are taken as the average of this alternative fuel rating and its gasoline rate. Thus a dual-fuel E85 capable vehicle which gets 15 mpg on E-85 and 25 mpg on gasoline would be rated as 20 mpg for CAFE purposes, in spite of the fact that less than one percent of the fuel used in E85 capable vehicles is actually E85.

" CAFE standards is not 100 + mpg for E 85 cars "

I will say high mpg with 400 hp in a V8 engine truck is not what you're looking for when you're pulling the camper or boat down the road 5 to 6 hundred miles on vacation.

" I guess you're right a electric 2 seater 3 wheeler is better."
