Ah, I see your point. But, can't the same rationale be applied to extracting the crude oil from the ground, taken to the refinery, then finally processed into gasoline? I thought the whole point of using ethanol was that it's eco-friendly? Not for its convenience. Of course, all of this stuff will be a moot point once they get around to releasing the Hydrogen engine to the public, which they claim will be within the next 10 years or less. Imagine a car which runs on mere air! With the only by-product being water! |

Hi Valor:
How much you wanna bet the oil companies will find a way to charge you for using the air!!!
You may laugh but you can bet those greedy bastards are already looking for a way to do it.

I don't see where the oil companies would have much luck trying to charge us for using air. Now the government on the other hand, that's a different story. They wouldn't think twice about taxing air... http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/quixotic-tax-til...2/1138836371335.html |
