[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 147523, member: 60"] I always thought that (and this is Methanol experience) that alcohol has not the power of petrol, (what has?) but it gives a cooler charge and so admits more to the combustion chamber but I suppose at 10% that effect is not happening so we have the worst of both worlds. If it were not being stopped by the oil companies and oil exporters it would be interesting to see what power we would get from synthetic fuel made from renewable energy (sunlight) and CO2 but the powers that be have not gone down that route are keeping it under wraps and expect us all to drive around in superannuated milk floats at god knows what extra CO2 output created by the new designs ,scrapping of servicable vehicles and vast electric infrastructure and public transport installations.
