VW to go all Flex Fuel in Brazil, will we see any of this here in the US?



VW's Brazilian product mix is going all Flex Fuel. Now I wonder if they'll make the change for the US market? With a potential shift toward E85 and BioDiesel here in the US, it could be worth the expense for VW. And recently I discovered that each vehicle that is Flex Fuel capable is counted as achieving 75 mpg for the CAFE or Corporate Average Fuel Economy ratings.

So if the new GTI were E85 capable, the consumer and the company could have their cake and eat it too.
