It is official. GM announced today that all 2009 Escalades will be flexfuel capable- will run on E85 or conventional gasoline or a mixture of both.

E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline is a clean burning fuel that can cut down green house gases by as much as 23% compared with normal gasoline. The flexfuel Escalades is the company’s latest move to reach its goal of selling half of its vehicles produced in the U.S flexfuel capable by the year 2012. 12 new E85 stations were inaugurated earlier this week by GM and many more are set to come in the future to serve the vehicles.
