Argentina lead South America into this, and now we have "tetrafuel" cars in Brazil: they run on ethanol, compressed natural gas, the brazilian 75% vol gasoline / 25% vol ethanol and gasoline. Probably they could also run on methanol or propane (both are illegal in Brazil - as is pure, unmixed gasoline).
