forgive my stupid, non-engineering-skills question but if we were to swtich to ethanol or methanol or whatever fuel would all our cars become huge paperweights or do you guys think there would be some possiblity to convert them?? or would it be too cost-prohibitive/unrealistic?

just curious....



Your car can run on ethanol now if it is tuned properly. A bumo in compression to about 12:1 will get you gas milage that is as good as what you get now.

Methanol is another story, as it is extremely corrosive and will destroy your fuel system, unless it is replaced with the proper equipment.
