Ford to focus on flexible fuel vehicles

The New York Times reports that Ford Motor Company has confirmed that it would not meet its widely publicized goal of selling 250,000 hybrid vehicles a year by 2010. This was a goal set last fall when energy prices spiked after the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina.

The Dearborn automaker is instead reportedly planning to focus its energies on developing flexible-fuel vehicles, which can run on gasoline and another type of fuel such as ethanol.

Well even though your vehicle isn’t a hybrid or doesn’t run on gas-ethanol combo, you can still make sure that your car is fuel efficient by keeping it in shape and by practicing responsible driving habits. Should you need to replace your Ford’s tires, do it immediately because worn tires contribute to poor fuel efficiency. Just click over to Ford Parts Online for the best Ford auto parts.
