Ford introduced the first production bio-ethanol car in Ireland when it launched the Focus FFV (Flexi-Fuel Vehicle) in 2005. The cars are called Flexi-Fuel because they can run on either bio-ethanol, normal unleaded petrol or on any mix of the two.
Ford’s FFV range can run on any mix of unleaded petrol or bio-ethanol, so if there is no E85 available close by, you can top the car up with unleaded petrol until you can get to a Maxol E85 pump.
The new 1.8 litre C-MAX FFV is available from your local Ford dealer for 21,921 plus charges. TW.
