saab 9-5



Except for the fact that you would be avoiding an unwarranted expedition looking for bioethanol pump, I am sorry to admit that this car is not going to appeal to you much. Nevertheless, if you do know how scare these green fuel pumps really are, then I bet you could still be drawn to this one as it can run on pure petrol too. Besides, there is a huge plus factor and that is... it is green - reducing your carbon emission crime by 50-70 per cent compared to conventional unleaded.



The downside is that though investing in bioethanol is slightly cheaper than petrol, yet you will get only 150bhp as against 180bhp when using the green fuel, and the 0-60mph time increases slightly only by 1.3 seconds.



This 2.0-litre engine comes with a price tag of £25,082 - £600 more than the standard model. Drivers of the car say there is too much body roll along with a very bumpy ride- features that make the car highly unattractive. The interior is quite ordinary too.



As for me, I still think going green beats all the negatives.
