The National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition reports that Flex Fuel U.S., a member of the coalition, has announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved an E85 conversion kit which fits the 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 liter Hemi.
The system is the first and only E85 conversion unit certified by the EPA for passenger and fleet vehicles. A copy of the EPA certificate issued to Flex Fuel U.S. can be found on their homepage at: www.flexfuelus.com. With this Federal certificate of conformity, the Flex-Box Smart Kit™ is approved for the most popular Dodge vehicles: the Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300 2wd and AWD 5.7L Hemi.
The FLEX-BOX SMART KIT™ is an easy-to-install system that lets you operate your vehicle on any combination of ethanol and gasoline. One can fill up on E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), E20 (20% ethanol and 80% gasoline), E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline) or pure gasoline.

Newbie IndyCar Driver Justin Wilson (pictured 2nd from left) says race car drivers want to go as fast as technology will let them. He says ethanol helps IndyCars do just that.
