Boyd, It was obvious I was only refuting his claim that oil is the most cost-efficient fuel, and NOT that he has read it multiple times. Since anyone can read just about anything "multiple times", it would be "ludicrous" to claim they hadn't. But since I obviously did not do that, it was "ludicrous" for you to claim that I did. (Unless I am misreading you and you are actually trying to say that it is "ludicrous" to disagree with a statement that is both incorrect AND based on nothing more than "I've read it multiple times".)
Regarding the rest of your post, it's obvious that you didn't go to the YT links about air cars. Good luck with your ethanol fuel party. I heard the feds not only require you to go through tons of licensing red-tape before you can even try to distil your own, but proceed to breath down your neck while you do. --------------------------- Aside from the fact that your statement that he did not read what he said he read is ludicrous (how do you know what he read? were you there? did you look thought his eyes?). I did a yahoo search and the opinion is divided. But there are ethanol engines available for your typical autos. There is also technology that allows for anything from E0 to E100 (0% to 100% ethanol). Just put what you got into your tank and go. My next vehicle is going to be a hybryd that can take such a varaity in fuel. At that point I am going to look at building a still and making my own fuel. Moonshining is going to make a comeback I predict. Only it will be for both your and your vehicle's consumption. Party at my place as soon as I get it up and running.

These non-oil-based cars cost less to buy AND DRIVE, and don't truly use new technology: http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=QmqpGZv0YT4& amp;feature= related http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=KTdqcLeBueY& feature=related ------------ --------- -------- I'm no energy expert, but I've read multiple times that oil is the most cost-efficient fuel for transportation with current technology. We can easily build vehicles that run on other fuels using other technologies, but the cost is higher.
