I have read "Why GM Matters"! I am going to tell you it was very enlightening to say the least.... Why most of the info in that book is never put in the news. Everyone should read this book! Great Book!

Camaros could be made to run on E85 easily.
Why do you think the cars in the DynoMax shootout use E85 exclusively?

lol, thats funny. He is right you need to actually read instead of just posting the poppy cock you hear floating around the media. This is exactly why the media sucks so bad. They say shit, people listen and it gets stuck in their brains. In turn people hear a different truth and it is to late at this point becuase their point of view is already tarnished.

I think i'll hold on to my $29 to make a sticker. The sticker will say "Why GM Matters" and i'll put that on the Camaro!!!

We too have read the book at my house...Nice, easy read. BTW only $17 from Amazon. Had it by the pool on vacation a few weeks ago and several people asked if we were from MI just based on the book choice? Would no one outside of MI be interested It would help GM if more people outside of the auto industry/Detroit would read it!

We use regular gas because E-85 is not readily available. I have only seen 2 stations that carry it in the last 2 years I have had my Silverado, and they are no where near my home or work.

Ditto. The only ones here in Michigan have been the local Meijers stations, and it's a wash either way between unleaded and e85. So for us it's not a matter of availability, but price.

But now since 87 has gone above e85 again, I can see that changing for a few people. The rest are just lemming retards that jumped on the green train for the little badge on the bumper.
