As a race car nut, I have and have some experiance with that "other" alcohol nobody seems to be bringing up and you don't here too much talk about in the press, the old racers favorite, Methanol. It has slightly higher octane numbers and can be made from everything like old tires to tree scrap. The recycling world loves it, only one problem, it's toxic. And if youve ever been to a sprint car race and stood next to an engine running on the stuff it will make a grown man cry, BUT; it also will allow an engine the ability to make more horsepower and run much higher compression. Only thing in that reguard is you won't be able to run any kind of gasoline if you need to. I think that may turn out to be the answer. And we don't have to worry about depleting the corn supply.
