Let alcohol run on it's own merit. If it really is great then it will be succesful. I agree LNG has potential if they get the filling stations worked out. But then propane never really caught on. I would like to see a closed loop farming operation where every single piece of equipment used in corn production runs on pure ethanol made from the previous year's crop and then see how much surplus comes off every year for sale.

I wonder how well it would work in distillate engines, though? (Not that I have any way to find out.) Oh, well. According to the newsies soon enough everything not electric will be running on LNG or hydrogen and gasoline will be illegal. [Reply]  [No Email]

Hasler, 01-27-2013 05:55:03   I agree, it wouldn't work well as a direct substitute, but if you knew you had a reliable supply of straight ethanol you could build and tune for it, mainly higher compression lower air/fuel ratio. It would have to cost half as much as gasoline just to break even. [Reply]  [No Email]

It makes it difficult to consume as a beverage!! and it also allows vehicles to start in cold weather. Which pure Ethanol doesn't do because of vapor pressure (stays liquid) issues in cold climates.
