I know that I could drive on that mix, because I use it when I'm going to the car inspection, so that the exhaust-gas will become cleaner.  :angel:

You get an emissions exemtion in this country if you run on Methanol. It makes more horsepower too.  :headbang:

In my hometown you will get a permission to park for free anywhere where parking is allowed, if you have a hybride car. But I can't afford it. The usual alcohol to drive cars on in Sweden isn't methanol, though, but ethanol. If I remember correctly, ethanol is less energetic.

The 95 octane gas costs $6.50/gallon in Sweden at the moment.  >:(

with the current prices of gasoline, i have estimated that if you take a gas guzzler (10 MPG) vehicle and trade it in and purchase a hybrid, the hybrid vehicle would pay for itself in 4 years time.

they are, the best investment one can make when purchasing an automobile.
Misunderstood.

Do you know how expensive new cars are in Sweden? I could get at most $7000 for my gasoline car and a hybride car costs at least $40000 but more likely $50000. My 850 isn't a gas guzzler, though. It drives about 30 MPG.

I could save a lot of money, though, if they just lowered the prices on ethanol to what pure gas costs in the US. My gas tank has a volume of 73 litres or 19.2 gallons. I could drive on a mix of 60 litres of gas and 13 litres of ethanol without converting the engine. That'd save $15 for me on every full tank and at least help the environment a little bit. But they won't lower the prices.

It's a big deal because it affects so many people.

What the fuck should people do if they live tens of miles from the nearest town? Walk?

Damn. Didn't think of that. Does Al Gore know?
