I THINK this is the right forum for this thread,
During my very short stay in Brazil I noticed alot of vehicles there run on alcohol, and since I was told that some alcohol powered vehicles had supplimentary gasoline for starting up I wonder if it wouldn't be too hard to convert a gasoline engine to run on alcohol and if this might help soften the impact of the current "energy crisis".
Is this what "Ethanol" is?
Can it really be made from sugar cane?
Can a regular vehicle be made to run on it without replacing the engine?
How would it compare price-wise to gasoline?
Does anyone know?
