My only objection is the title. These are NOT clean cars. They're FFVs. It should have read "The dirty secret about Flex-fuel Vehicles".

You know that somehow somebody's going to get confused and think that they're talking about hybrids.

I believe the Model-T got 25 mpg. The Prius and other hybrids are disruptive technology.
