Funny, California Energy Commission states all manufactures started building
"flexible fuel" vehicles that could run on ethanol in 1997
Henry Ford sure had the idea of alcohol power back in the teens, and early
20's,
Model T carbs were adjustable to run on it but petroleum was abundant and
cheaper.
An Illinois State page lists the Chevy Lumina as first in 1992 they bought
12 of them,
and the ford Taurus was planned for manufacture in 1996.
And everything was/is quiet on the dodge front.

all in all it doesn't much matter who was first, or how many, because it
like the hybrids, as
far as saving money, it is strictly a feel good thing.  Because you cant buy
the stuff hardly
anywhere in the states.  And if that hybrid doesn't go at least 10 years
with no major repairs, you'll
never break even between fuel saved cost wise, and the cost of the vehicle.
As a hot rodder, it does sound promising though.  stuff is supposed to be
high octane, that means higher
compression, and more timing advance and that means more go power.
