As I said before, there is no reason a vehicle engine that runs well and cleanly on ethanol or ethanol mixtures cannot be produced.

There is a reason it can't be done and you can't overcome it, it's called the heat of combustion between the 2. There is no way you can increase the amount of energy in your crappy alcohol, it's called chemestry.

They could make crude oil from garbage cheaper than making alcohol, it was done at MIT in the 50s but the cost at the time was was about $12/barrel and crude was only about $3.

Don't start the clean air BS with me, I was born and grew up in Los Angeles in the 40s and early 50s when smog was 10 times worse than now. I wish it was back to those levels, no one that was raised in it suffered one bit, only the imigrants. If we had it back maybe all the complainers from the midwest and east would go back to where they came from.
