interesting.

The aldehydes are easily handled by the cats, I have been told, and as for
the cost, I can distil thousands of gallons of it from the stuff the farmers
leave in the fields, wouldn't take too long for the average customer to
figure out how easy it is to produce. The problem is the fuel map and cam
adjustments to make maximum use of that extra O2 molecule :)

Bob

According to the Ferd web site (ducking to avoid the rocks), the advantages
and disadvantages of Ethanol/E85 fuel are:
"Advantages: high octane, slightly increases performance, renewable
domestic sources, similar refueling system for customers, certain emissions
reduced. Disadvantages: reduced driving range, much higher fuel cost,
slightly higher vehicle cost, limited public refueling sites, and increased
aldehyde emissions." -http://www.ford.com/default.asp?pageid=407#advandis
Dak content: I get her back this Friday! To the penny damage cost:
$9,185.43 Ouch!
