When you visit Toyota of N Charlotte, you know you’re in for a ton of options. Whether you want a tough new Toyota truck or a go-green option like the 2013 Toyota Prius c, we’ve got you covered. As of late, it seems like quite a few customers are concerned about fuel efficiency and the effect that their vehicle has on the environment; we generally steer them towards the eco-friendly hybrids that we have on our lot. However, did you know that another environmentally sensitive fuel option exists? It’s called flex fuel, and we’ve got all the details you need on this innovative source of power! 

How does flex fuel fit into your new Toyota?

What is flex fuel exactly, and how does it work?

• Basically, flex fuel is an alternative energy source. New Toyota in N Charlotte that are equipped to handle it can utilize both gasoline and a blend of gasoline and ethanol (called E-85) as their fuel. This makes for a more versatile driving experience, but that’s not all a flex fuel vehicle has to offer! 
• One quality of flex fuel vehicles that’s pretty desirable is the performance. You know that when you buy a hybrid – like the new Toyota Prius in N Charlotte – you’re going to have to sacrifice a bit of performance, since the Hybrid Synergy Drive System under the hood focuses more on an eco-friendly and efficient outcome than powerful performance. FFV (flex fuel vehicles) run off of gasoline or E-85, so they still retain the power that you need it you crave a little extra vroom in your driving experience! 
• New Toyota near Charlotte that are FFV also utilize a fuel source that’s more renewable – E-85 is made right here in the US, so you don’t have to worry about utilizing imported gasoline quite as much. 
• You don’t need special N Charlotte Toyota parts for these vehicles! Just a few modifications have been made to the engine, so unlike a hybrid, you won’t need specifically designed parts to keep things running smoothly.
