ah, i see what you were getting at...i guess there could be gas tank capacity issues? fueling stations aren't everywhere, i would have to drive 20 miles just to get ethanol (that i know of right now) and it doesn't sound like these cars will be using much gasoline in our day to day commute, sounds like the gas is a backup for longer trips. Nothing would keep people from converting them over, or even leaving a flex fuel option in there.
