Looks interesting but the car will need modifying for the fuel I believe. I remember from the Formula student days where you could run normal fuel or E85. Aluminium corrosion was a problem with parts exposed to E85.

aha you've got to laugh at those mastubators for charging that much for something renewable. it should be cheap, not just 2p a litre a cheaper

Read the comments on the original thread.

It is taxed cleverly and also is quite expensive to produce.

I think the Tesco 99ron is simply normal unleaded with 5% bioethanol and hence the octance increase.

So really the emissions and power will be better but you will need 1.5 times the amount of fuel.
