General Motors wants you to know that you that they have several vehicles that can run on E85, the new high-ethanol blended gasoline. E85 is 85% ethanol, and the primary source of that ethanol is extraction from locally-grown crops like corn.
If you hit the jump you can play an online game where you choose a Chevrolet vehicle, fill it up with E85 and then race through a farmer's field filled with puddles and giant chickens. As you race around the track you can see how much fuel you're using and when you cross the finish line they tell you how much fuel you saved.
The game is kind of lame-o, but it gets the message across and help bring attention to E85 as an alternative fuel that can already be used is a wide range of existing vehicles.
