A car . I'm talking about getting rid of ethanol in gasoline and using a much better (for your car and the population) fuel source, methanol. I want methanol to replace ethanol in pump gas, and have automobile engines that can handle it without degrading more rapidly. There is really no shortage of wood and cellulose waste, trees are coming down all the time, and other plants can easily be fermented as well. I am sick of corn being used as a fuel source, when it makes a crappy additive and should be used as food in the first place. It is a huge problem for me because my car and my power equipment run like crap on E10, and I can't find straight gas in Taxachusetts because it is mandated that all pump gas is to be a minimum 10 percent ethanol. Even when I go in New Hampshire, I still can't find regular gasoline. I just want a choice, or at the very least, something that doesn't make my stuff run like it's antique farm equipment.
