Default Alcohol-methane BETTER THAN FUEL ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_alcohol_fuel

of course they say that it was never really really introduced in the US worlds largest car consumer, and its funny its justified by "the price of oil has always been lower than alcohol" i guess it would of been true BEfore 911 and other stupid shit like that
its worth a read though, and Alcohol=performance!!! BOU YEAH!

Unhappy

Interesting :thumb: The sad thing is that we all know there are an assload of alternative fuels around and the US government and other various companies make sure they are either lost (because they pay the inventor more not to make it public) or other means to make sure it never goes public (use your imagination) Oil is to big of a money maker for the oil companies to just stop producing gasoline and other petroleum based products. I love how all of a sudden when travel season's hit it's "The price of a barrel of oil is now up" Does any1 else see a problem when Exxon's 3rd quarter "profit" (not gross intake) is 33 billion dollars? I'm not kidding either, they're profit really was 30 something billion, sad.

yep its ridiculous how money controls people, and they rather make people buy stupid gay tiny cars rather than lower the price of gas and let us enjoy burning tons of gas!!! but alcohol has so much less emition, its mostly c0ndensation

And they dont pay the inventor, they buy him out and shut him up

like the guy who made the water powered engine that had the SAME performance as if it was running on gas

he died of " food poisonning "


right...

Cool

I think I know who you are talking about. Was there a vid demonstrating the fuel system in the form of a dune buggy? Also, the vid looked old as hell, in the 80's sometime?

yeps, greatest invention ever in my E-pinion, the only drawback is finding the proper lubrification for the engine not to rust when storing the car for a longer period... and of course water freezing, but thats minor details, hell, same HP/torque as gasoline
