I can certainly understand the purity of your reasoning, but there is no purity in govt. I notice the program also offers $1000 rebates for 4 E85 flex fuel cars. 99.9% of these cars will never run anything except gasoline and they get terrible FE. I suspect these guys were added more as an olive branch to GM Canada and the fact that 2 of them, the Impala and Monte Carlo are built in Canada. The only environmental benefit provided by these two cars is the economic environment of southern Ont.

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
