Holden VE Series II Commodore Review (http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHeGjsJil6v-_MEZjN0TQQLNvG0lw&url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/83628/holden-ve-series-ii-commodore-review/)

Holden’s three keywords in introducing the upgraded and revised VE Series II Commodore range are “future friendly” and “clever”. It’s both – although not quite mind-bogglingly so on either count.

The biggest news is undoubtedly flex-fuel capability – which is available with the 3.0-litre SIDI (spark ignition direct injection) V6 engine and the 6.0-litre V8. The future-friendliness of the 3.6-litre V6 is a work in progress – flex-fuel capability is coming for that engine. Probably in a few months.

Flex-fuel capability allows the small six and the big V8 engines to run on a range of ethanol-blended fuels up to E85 (which is 85 per cent ethanol in 15 per cent petrol). The flex-fuel engines can also run on conventional E10, and any ethanol proportion up to E85, as well as 100 per cent petrol. So you don’t have to feed them E-anything if you’re disinclined to do so, and you don’t have to worry about getting home if the needle’s in the red and you can’t find an E85 pump anywhere inside the visible horizon.
