I saw an Escalade with a flex fuel badge on it.

[LAP TOP GAMER]

I was getting my Tahoe from the parking garage after a week at Disney land and I saw a GMT 900 series Escalade sporting a flex fuel badge on the left side on the rear hatch. I may be wrong, but Escalade's are not set up for flex fuel.

He must be a phony, there are 0 Flex Fuel Escalades due to their bigger engines I guess!

Might be a phony, but I don't see why someone would put a corny "flex fuel" badge on thier truck. doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it was a tahoe with a escalade body kit. Who knows, Florida is known to modifiy and trick out cars.

It was probably an 09, I think they were adding flex fuel capability to the new ones.

OK what does tricked out trucks in FL have to do with this? The vehicle was seen at Disney Land in California. Disney World is in FL.

yea, 09 escalades and yukon denali's are now flex fuel.

 

[Nnaboy]

Oh then it looks like its one of GM's new options according to RT

Well then I guess I just learned something.

 

[ibobby]

but are there any benefits of Flex Fuel? (as discussed before)

 

[avgabriel]

As long as it looks nice, flex fuel, electric, natural gas whatever, i'd drive it!

but using Flex Fuel gives you less gas mileage(so I'm told). and at the sales price, its not a savings vs using standard gas.

I really hate to admit this but RT was right! for once he actually had some facts to back up his story, j/k RT. I went to the caddy's webite and verified the info.

Depends on where you live, theres some places that E85 is $1.50 cheaper than gas. A lot of people come out better using E85...

 

[TXST8tj]

i would hope it is legit. i don't know why anyone would want to advertise that their vehicle is flex fuel/E85, muchless act like theirs was if it really isn't. those that are educated on it would likely hide the fact.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

on the denali the Flexfuel badge is over the word Yukon insted of by its self over on the right. cause GMC is there. just a tidbit that might be intresting. LOL

Well in the case of being $1.50 cheaper...I see why. But I(myself) have only seen it about .25-.40cent cheaper. Thats no where near $1.50.
