The Brazil system works because for years now new cars sold there must accept ethanol fuel. The same system would work here if new cars were required to safely accept ethanol fuel. It would create a huge market for ethanol fuels.
The economies of scale cause the ethanol fuel to be cheaper than gasoline fuels. And that is true no matter how it is calculated. The fair way to compare is in miles per dollar of fuel, not in miles per gallon. It isn't true now because many new American cars can't safely accept 100% ethanol or methanol fuel. So the market for the fuel isn't large enough to keep the price competitive, and to make the fuel widely available. When all new cars are required to accept ethanol fuel, then it soon costs nothing to make the changes required for those cars, because of the economies of scale involved. The changes are minor when designed into the car, and put in during the initial factory build of the new car. eco man http://corporatism.tripod.com ------------- Does anyone remember my mentioning how we had to pay nearly $1,000 to repair the car because of ethanol in fuel?

Assassination of Hugo Chávez. Big Oil corporatists. More on who is really in charge. Dallas and Houston are the Big Oil puppet masters manipulating the Pat Robertson Armageddonists, the Israeli lobby, and the war industries (which includes the U.S. prison industrial complex). Just follow the oil money. My favorite quote from the book excerpt: "The public, American public included, does not have to remain hostage to the Saudi-Houston cartel." We could be following Brazil's successful ethanol model instead. And we could add hemp stalks to the biomass used to produce ethanol and methanol.
