Even if the experience of improving the efficiency of this car doesn't effectively lead to money savings in the long run, it still sounds interesting to say the least, both in the environmental aspect and to provide knowledge about the usage of another alternate fuel that may eventually become a viable for other operators with easier access to it.

Just gotta keep your eyes on the head temps.

Sometimes I get the willing to pick an old carburettor-fed car and adapt some manual mixture control like the gasser (or ethanol) aircraft.
