Yes, Brazil has an abundance of sugar so that's why e85 is used. Problem with ethanol is cold starting. 15% petrol or it will not start + engine has to be modded as well. Will happen here as oil gets dearer IMO.  :oops: :offtopic:

I hope not, Phil.  We should be using food sources for food, not for fuelling vehicles.  Particularly when there are many people going hungry in the world.  It will drive up the price of food too, as farmers will sell to the highest bidder, be it fuel or food.

Baked beans would be my best guess... :P

That guy that uses the cooking oil in his Vito (I wouldn't want his old vans after they are traded)

Mind you they would be nicer to follow around the city than most diesel trucks  :lol: :goodjob:

CO2 doesn't support combustion and Methane CH4 is a bad Greenhouse gas. :fum:
