It looks like he needed the truck. It's a shame he sold the Insight.
There is some disparity about ethanol production worse case it's done with a plant built in 1970 that gets the same energy efficiency as Gasoline plants .89:1 energy input to output. The state of the art ethanol plant gets 1.5:1 input to output. And Ethanol is not derived from foodstock like Straight Vegetable Oil. WVO is a different story.
Good luck with a VW Diesel pickup, they're all old and rusty by now.
Coal...that's got to be the worst comparison I've seen. At least getting a diesel truck is rational. I can't take your sarcasm seriously.
I think it's a hacked up "news" post, Metro. All the powder of opposing arguments including hearsay with his "limp as celery stalks" defense. He bought a V6 Compact truck. It doesn't burn E85, it doesn't run off electricity, it doesn't run off small children or squirrel running eternally in a caged motor. It burns gasoline. Although personally it might as well burn squirrels, at least his MPG would be better. I've never seen a V6 Compact truck get anything better than 20mpg.
If he thinks he's getting 12mpg he definitely setting his sights low.
