The news from Ford came as the bio-ethanol Focus was launched in the UK. It"s priced í‚á£14,095, although sales are expected to be "modest" because there are only five places in the country where you can fill up - and they"re all in Somerset, near to the biofuel project the blue oval is involved with. Locally grown wheat will be used to power the 40 Flexi-fuel cars being run by companies based in the area. "This is only the start," said a Ford spokesman. "In Sweden, for example, 80 per cent of Focuses sold are bioethanol, so we know people accept it. It"s about getting the infrastructure in place."
