A group of Norwegian lawmakers are drafting a proposal that would eventually lead to a ban on the sale of gasoline-only fueled cars by 2015 or 2020.

Flexible-fuel vehicles would be permitted under the ban. Norway’s Transport Ministry is determining whether or not the ban could be legal, according to the paper.

Transportation accounts for 25% of Norway’s CO2 emissions.

I think it will be hard to find a new vehicle that is not flex-fuel by 2010, much less 2015.

Yeah right....like that’s feasible.

You’d think that a nation wih oil, like Norway is, would not have a problem with it. Too much lutefisk in their diets, I suppose.........
