Flex Fuel?

Yup. It's actually already Flex Fuel....that started with the '07 version.

The HP/TQ numbers, if they're right, are even higher than they originally posted. That's awesome. I wish I could've waited to buy my Dakota.

 

Finally they make the 4.7 respectable. But now its almost too little too late.

 

Yea I see that on the back of the cars, I just didnt see anything about it on the new engine.

 

i cant wait to drive this

 

I do wish they would have gave it mds as well.

 

How ethanol could be used
to get real improvements in both MPG and peak horsepower:

note with this method we are already making enough ethanol
for every vehicle on USA roads

 

Without a fuel economy change in addition that hp change the 4.7L is still worthless, it's still lower hp/torquewhile getting worse fuel economy than the 5.7L.

 

Yes but you have to pay 1000-1600 more for a hemi. SO are 25 horses worth that kind of dough?
