Agreed ... but ... Makes no difference to the point that was being made.

The ability for a vehicle to run on a Bio-Fuel as an option is not exclusive to the old 7,700 lbs vehicle ... the newer vehicle can also be made or modified to run on a 100% renewable bio-fuel ... but the newer Prius like vehicle will produce less tail pipe pollution per gallon and use less gallons per mile while doing so.

So from a pollution stand point ... it still is = Con for old.

And , as you pointed out yourself , the 'gasoline' be it 100% or even the % in E85 can itself still be a 100% renewable Bio-Fuel.
