[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 5447, member: 4034"] [b]Eco-fuel[/b] One of the US riders in jtan reports that on a long run he obtained 45 mpg using nasty non-eco fuel, and 35-40 mpg using ecoscam fuel. Wonder if that reflects the fact that a race bike that does 35 mpg on petrol does only 7 mpg on dope? Or that a motor that runs a 240 main jet on petrol needs a 1500 main jet for dope? Or bio-ethanol, if you prefer. Only Whitehall could be fooled into thinking that running vehicles on 100% ABV vodka made any kind of sense - except to the farmers collecting subsidies for growing the feed crops. There's a great rule for establishing whether something is food, or "a food product". 1) If it makes health claims, it isn't food. 2) If it has more than five ingredients, it isn't food. Strikes me that the same rule could be applied to fuels making ecological claims.......... [/QUOTE]
