VW "flex fuel" Engine

Great news for Brazil, VW unveiled the first car with a dual fuel engine. Ethanol is popular because it is clean and cheap, but the shortage of 1990 meant people switched back to petrol. Except for cold weather starting problems, like bio-diesel, the new 1.6 liter engine could be a great selling-point for VW and the consumers in places like China.
