Ford has delivered 4 of its demonstration fleet of ethanol-fueled hybrids to the State of Missouri (1) and the Kansas City Power & Light (3) at Ford's Kansas City ( Mo.) Plant, home of the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner hybrid vehicles. The use of the vehicles will help expand the state's use of alternative energy. Sounds more like a diet patch than a car actually.
