Alcohol Auto Fuel - Break the Oil Company Monopoly

Alcohol Auto Fuel - Break the Oil Company Monopoly
Run your car on cheaper alcohol NOW!

David Blume http://www.alcoholcanbeagas.com/
interviewed on Coasttocoastam radio

Blume's site is talking about replacing gasoline with alcohol. Convert back part of your office building or your garage (less space required than a car) to build a still.
IRS tax credits, maybe also Calif. credits.
Cost about $1500 if you can weld yourself, to build one to put out 100 gallons a day. Sells for a little less than gasoline. And a lot less than gasoline a few months ago, and in the future.
Most cars can be converted or re-tuned to run on it. Alcohol damage to newer cars is an oil company promoted myth. (Brazil imports negligible oil).
Blume recommends to set up a sales area in back of your building or form a coop in a corner of an abandoned strip mall.
You will have to find a source of material to distill, which could be a problem out there in the desert, though. Sugar beets, cane, corn, KELP... Or a small patch of land irrigated to grow cattails would be all you need. I don't recall the area mentioned (maybe a 50' x 1000' plot ??)

SAFER and cleaner than gasoline. Fords back in early 1900s would run on either gas or alcohol, but oil companies got alcohol off the market (prohibition was not about drinking)

And, alcohol lends itself to local production and strengthening local communities instead of big corporations, big banks, and big government.

Almost any car from 1980s on can go 50% right now with no modifications.
Caution -- this will clean your engine, ;) , so the gunk removed from internal parts will end up in oil, so you will need to change your oil after your engine has been cleaned out.
Another caution, :) , on full alcohol, some engine computers will turn on engine warning lights, since emissions are so low, that the computer thinks a smog sensor has failed.
