That's probably a suitable way to make ethanol palatable... by having a large line of turbocharged engines that perform better on progressive blends. It would certainly make motorheads like us think more kindly about it...
Hehe...

But I agree. What Saab is doing is INDEED the right step to encourage/promote the use of bioethanol (especially at its full 100% blend) via its "flex-fuel" vehicles by exhibiting better performance & fuel-efficiency as you load up with more ethanol. In short, the higher the ethanol content, the better.

Also, Saab mentioned that they can also outfit this with their own "hybrid" system. So they would be the first automaker and the first in the world to mix the ff: Bioethanol flex-fuel + electric motor = THE SPEED AND FUEL EFFICIENCY OF GREEN

Brilliant
