At the  same price, why would anyone NOT buy a flex fuel  vehicle?





Mike,
A few years back when I was working at the Chevy dealership the flex-fuel  
cars and trucks were just coming out... (2001-2004).. the price of replacement  
fuel components were over ten times the cost of "regular fuel" vehicles... a  
favorite example was the fuel filter... about $18 for the gasoline only cars 
and  trucks.... Flex-fuel filter was $195.... The prices may have gone down a 
bit  since then (I hope), but it was still a shocker for the guy coming in to 
do  routine 60K maintenance. 
I'm sure the fuel tank is probably a lot more, too, since it cannot be made  
of plastic, like regular fueled vehicles... 
Just an FYI....
Later,
Lonzo
