I agree with the quote someone posted above: “If a country like Chile can get 95% of their cars to run on ethanol based products, why can’t the US”
The answer is in money. US oil companies are earning sooo much money with oil that you can not imagine. They will do everything it takes to prevent other fuel variants (LPG, ethanol, hydrogen or electric) to come in a everyday usage.

It will happen someday, but not just yet. I predict after 2020.

Best, K.S.

As long as no government or major government has a change of heart nothing will be done. No one has that kind of power in the world. Anyway, sooner or later we must step in and find a new fuel source.

in my country, hybrid cars regardless whether it runs on ethanol, hydrogen or battery are still very expensive. It's still a long way, but at least, we have options. azwan´s last blog post..Geng Melayu Boleh

Fuel is the adrenaline of any car, truck or engine. Thus, it is every vehicle owner’s wish to enhance the fuel of their car and save more of it as well. With this in mind, the most innovative fuel-saving tool in the automotive industry was conceptualized and created: the Tornado Fuel saver. An automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, the Tornado Fuel Saver allows the air to move in a faster and more efficient way by whirling air around corners and bends. Hence, more fuel is saved.

Ethanol is much better than crude, because it’s much cheaper than the Dubai crude. This is a simple solution to reduce co2 emissions.

Ethanol is one of the best alternative to imported oil. It’s a welcoming change to the city.

This is superb news! I think, though, that ethanol powered cars could well have been in a more full use now. I believe oil companies may be responsible for holding back development.
