GM is further drawing attention to its E85 push by
celebrating a recent milestone in the history of its Janesville Assembly plant in Winsconsin. The plant has produced
its 500,000th E85 FlexFuel vehicle since 2002. Currently GM’s large SUVs are assembled in Janesville and the
plant fits them with the company’s E85-ready 5.2L V8.

GM is also trying to raise awareness of E85 by
getting owners of older E85-capable vehicles on the phone to remind them of their car’s hidden talent. The
company is also replacing standard gas caps on FlexFuel vehicles with special yellow ones because, you know…
corn is yellow and ethanol is made from corn. Brilliant.
