I was reading about the Saab biopower, apparently it can run on pure gasoline, pure ethanol or any combination. But with ethanol, it makes much more horsepower. With pure ethanol, it makes over 250 hp I believe, and with gasoline, about 180-190 hp. My numbers may be off but it was around that order of difference. What do drag racers run, alcohol fuels.
And pure ethanol gives off mostly water and co2 as emissions.
I don't get it, we can make a renewable fuel from garbage, left over plant material, that makes our cars go faster and pollutes very little compared to gasoline and we are still burning dinsaurs in our cars?
