Comments on: Shaquille O'Neal Helps to Debut the World's First E-Fuel MicroFueler http://gas2.org/2009/07/30/shaquille-oneal-helps-to-debut-the-worlds-first-e-fuel-microfueler/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

If they can include kerosene why not include biofuels from integrating different types of coops; Maybe have this Natl. Coop for the insurance industry sponsor an alt. fuel coop to provide income for the R&D of a new line of energy coops that raise the quality of life for not just a few of the coops 'elite' corp types but improve the flow of our resources. HS programs and Tech. Colleges could enroll teachers, students and retired genius' to work and divide profits as they develop new patents and products to stimulate better minds in cooperatives that are color blind to politics, a green light.. Hope our petroleum industry re-invests in our country's youth and start making these alternative fuel stations a reality.

And there do seem to be some very valid questions about what kind of fuel you actually end up with in your car's tank? Seems like you would really want to have a FlexFuel car or truck that can handle E10 - E85 blends, and it wouldn't be hard to 'blend' that yourself. But it also seems that it will take a couple of years of 'testimonials' from users before something like this is shown to be useful / viable. Has California bought any of these to evaluate, or DoE? Some neutral 3rd party needs to examine this technology and let us all know if it's real or not.

Would this cut in to how much alcohol I can make for personal consumption since it isn't denatured? Most vehicles can run with > 10% ethanol. If the savings were sufficient, it would be simple to fill up at the petrol station, leaving room for a gallon or so, then topping all the way with ethanol. The ethanol content would rise to 15% or there abouts depending on tank size. Does Greenhouse pay the motor fuel tax?

Prior to changing to ethanol, the Indy cars ran on methanol. C H3 OH rather than C2 H5 OH. Both fuels have the same fire problem. You can not see the flames in a bright sunlit area. They also have the same advantage. You can put the fire out with water.
