Is Flex-Fuel dead, for 2016, at Gm
In all the media guides for the new 2016 Camaro, Malibu, & Cruze,
I didn't see the word Flex-Fuel, anywhere? Is Flex-Fuel dead? Hmm... I think that I found the answer, to my own question... http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/01/w...dissappear-in/ |

Camaro never had flex fuel, nor did Cruze.
4.3 and 5.3 trucks are, and it is now a $100 to add to 5.3 as it is no longer standard compatibility. Impala with the 3.6 is flex. 4.8 and 6.0 Vortec are flex, LKW 2.5 in Impala/Malibu is flex.

Maybe, the 3.6 LFX, is the only Flex-Fuel engine left, if it, hasn't been killed off, for 2016, for GM cars? |

With gas prices so low, maybe it didn't make sense financially.

It's never really made sense financially. The only time I ever used E85 was in a Taurus rental because gas was $3+/gallon and E85 was still in the mid-2s. They never said what fuel to use, just to bring it back full...

It's to be replaced by the new Auto Stop feature....even worse.
