Flex Fuel vehicles

Flex Fuel vehicles are no more difficult to build than regular cars and they enable the vehicle to run on either ethanol or conventional gasoline, so why aren't all automakers building every single car with this capability? Unfortunately I don't have the answer to that question. To me it seems that a few hoses and a bigger reinforced tank would be a simple solution to America's hunger for oil all while creating jobs for local farmers.

In Brazil, 90% of cars produced can run on both gasoline and ethanol. The fuel is produced from sugarcane because it is plentiful, but it could just as easily be created with corn, switchgrass, potatoes, or any other biomass. Watch the video below to find out what is causing the increasing interest in biofuels and flex fuel vehicles.
