[rcne]

A bit of good news for petro users....

If we had the incentives to reach a goal of 77% of our auto market running on flex fuel, the mid east oil crisis would not seem such a stranglehold.

I think that if alcohol fuel were tax free from the state and government and subsidized by the government we could cut our dependence of oil by a substantial amount.

Brazil's alcohol cars hit 2m mark Brazil's new generation of cars and trucks adapted to run on alcohol has just hit the two-million mark, motor industry figures show. "Flex-fuel" vehicles, which run on any combination of ethanol and petrol, now make up 77% of the Brazilian market.
