where can you buy 55gal drums of ethanol?

can't afford gas no more. figure if i get some alcohol, change the mixture and crank the boost i should be good to go.

Ethanol is more expensive than gasoline, and nets you worse MPG.

You aren't going to save any money unless you distill it yourself.

Before I answer... you haven't been cruising by any federal buildings lately have you?

Why the roll? It's a good idea, but not really a viable means of saving money on fuel currently.

If gasoline ever tops 4$/gallon, then that's another story.

Unfortunately for him, that would involve way more than upping the boost and changing the fuel:air ratio.

Like replacing his current engine with a diesel. lol

Oh yeah, forgot you were up there.

Hmm...

I don't really know. You would have to look around locally. I'm sure you could procure some, but I have no idea how much it would be per gallon.. And you have to figure in the worse MPG, too.

that and i'd have to go to EFI, because the K-jet on this car can't flow too much more.

I've been thinking about getting an old benz diesel too, for summer at least..

Yeah, I've really been wanting to get an old Volvo or Mercedes diesel and convert it.. It would be so badass.

Except those old Benz diesels get AWFUL mileage for a diesel. They run forever, though.
