Flex-fuel CAFE credits to expire?

No more CAFE credits for flex-fuel vehicles that don't use ethanol?

American automakers have been putting millions of vehicles on the road every year that offer flex-fuel technology. Yet, the far majority of those vehicles have never been filled with a tank of E85. Nonetheless, automakers have received CAFE credits enabling those automakers to avoid paying millions in fines for violating CAFE, not to mention increasing foreign oil dependency. Under new legislation in the Senate, however, that loophole could be closed in 2009 (more).
