Japanese Cars Do Flex-fuel
Flex-fuel cars can run on either ethanol, gasoline or a mixture of the two. A built-in sensor reads the proportion of ethanol (made from sugarcane and corn) to control combustion.

Three Japanaese carmakers - Mitsubishi Motors Corp., Honda Motor Co., and Toyota Motor Corp. will release flex-fuel cars in Brazil.

About 80% of Brazilians buy flex-fuel cars.

Mitsubishi motors will roll out its version this year and then commercialize them in 2009.

Honda already has a flex-fuel version, including the FIT subcompact.flex-fuel.jpg

Toyota will release a flex-fuel Corolla this Spring.

The rest of the world is far behind Brazil in producing, distributing and using flex-fuel.

It doesn't matter to Japanese carmakers. They will make cars to run on whatever, wherever.

Meanwhile, American automobile makers will continue to restructure.
