Bad news as Ethanol is crap for your engine. Look at all the recent fuel leaks caused by ethanol. If they implement the 15% ethanol policy my next car will be a diesel! My mileage has dropped significantly since they mandated this crap over 100% real gas.

I'd probably switch to diesel too. Been driving turbo car for last 4 years, there's no way I'm going to drive a hybrid. Diesel would be a nice transition with the low end torque. Not sure if I'm going to like having to shift at 4000 RPM. Got spoiled driving a couple of cars with 8000 RPM rev limit. :)

Too bad the BMW 335d only comes with an automatic and costs serious money over the 335i. Diesel is great, I had a Hi-Lux and that was diesel and the best truck I ever owned.
