New SAAB Flex Fuel Car Performs Better on E85

It's only available in Sweden, but a new SAAB flex fuel car is optimized for E85. This means it takes advantage of the unique qualities to deliver more power and better mileage at high speeds than a similar car running on regular gasoline. This capability would make E85 cars much more competitive in the US market. Car makers would do well to develope more flexible fuel vehicles optimized for running on E85.
Saabnet.com Press: BioPower Flex-Fuel 9-5:

On the road, the 180-hp Saab 9-5 BioPower running on E85 delivers sportier performance due to a significant 30-hp boost in maximum power and 30 lb.-ft. more torque, for a maximum of 206 lb.-ft., compared to its gasoline-powered equivalent. While fuel economy in city and mixed driving conditions is unlikely to show an improvement, preliminary testing indicates that up to a 15 percent gain can be expected at cruising speeds because of better combustion with higher efficiency.
