Per a recent announcement from NEVC:

Chrysler just announced that they are dropping their requirement for special oils in their FFV's as they are "no longer necessary" ---- information that has been common knowledge in the ethanol community for years. They are also expanding their offerings of FFV models and starting in the 2007 year will make all versions available to the public.

Thought this would be useful to bring to everyone's attention.

Great! I see some press clippings saying that the "expanded offerings" will include the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Commander [1] and also the Dodge Dakota [2]. That will be welcome news to the Jeep owners here asking about how to E-85'ify their Jeeps. And on a more practical level, it's nice to see them drop the "fleet-order only" requirement.
