I'm looking for a new vehicle, anyone have any experience with a flex fuel vehicle? any good or bad things about them?

I bought a used fleet car (2000 Taurus) at auction a while back from the turnpike commission, and it had some problems with the intake fouling. I had to have it cleaned out several times, and replaced once. I'm hoping that they improved them in the last decade.

I never tried it with any "alternate" fuel, though. Maybe it runs better on ethanol, or whatever godawful costly crap it was designed to burn. I just know it wasn't terribly great with gasoline.

flex fuel cars are a gimmick.  they don't cost less to fuel or operate, and don't relieve the stress of carbon dioxide emissions on the environment (ethanol takes a lot of energy to produce).

So im looking at selling my place, we found a house that we've been looking at for 3 months while its gone thru a shortsale period.  It looks like its a full foreclosure now, and im hoping to get in and get a great deal.  It was already 120k less than what they bought it for 2 years ago.  The only issue is no one has lived there for a year and a half, apparently the guy bought it as an investment, got stuck with it, then got arrested for killing someone while DUI.  Here's to hoping i can sell my crib.

Virginia Tech releases gruesome details of student's on-campus murder
By Greg Esposito | The Roanoke Times

When Virginia Tech authorities arrived Wednesday night at a cafe inside the Graduate Life Center, they found a decapitated female victim who had arrived on campus just two weeks ago and a young man they have now charged with killing her.

Authorities, including Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum, outlined some of the gruesome details of Wednesday night's murder on campus at a press conference this morning.

They said Xin Yang, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, arrived Jan. 8 to begin her studies in accounting at the Pamplin College of Business. She lived in the graduate life center.

Haiyang Zhu, 25, a graduate student from China, was charged late Wednesday with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. He is a Ph.D. graduate student majoring in agricultural and applied economics. He began his studies at Virginia Tech at the start of the 2008 fall semester. Tech officials said the victim and suspect knew each other and Yang listed Zhu as an emergency contact.

Flinchum said the two were sitting at a table at the Au Bon Pain cafe in the Graduate Life Center when the disturbance began. There were seven witnesses to the events and two called 911 at 7:06 p.m.

When authorities arrived less than two minutes later, they discovered Yang's dead body, Zhu and a large kitchen knife that they believe is the murder weapon. Zhu did not resist arrest. There is no record of him being called to the attention of Tech or Blacksburg police or the university's threat assessment or CARE team before Wednesday.

Classes were not cancelled today and the graduate life center is open. The windows and glass doors of Au Bon Pain are blocked from the inside and the cafe is closed.
