Help me out here, alcohol is a very clean burning fuel, it is a renewable resource. Are folks trying get the maximum miles per gallon, or the minimum pollution per mile?
Having said that, corn ethanol is just dumb! Cane alcohol is much better, and alcohol from cellulose is now on the market, and is a good source of alcohol. Probably the best source will be fermentation products from algae. I have long been an advocate for alcohol as a fuel, if Indy race cars can burn it, why cannot car makers build cars to burn it?
