10. If only the Volt burned E85.

Although five years ago Chevy said that the Volt was going to also burn E85, it didn't work out that way.

If it did today (and that 1.8 liter engine in the volt is easily adaptable to ethanol fuel), then I would seriously consider a flex-fuel Volt.

Wouldn't that be the bee's knees?
