Exploder came alongside and beeped his horn. I rolled down my window and he
asked me what kind of mileage I got. I said "53 highway on long trips, @

Thanks for your reply - it's now put me much more in the picture.
Now I thought I was so cynical about this world that I woul

Hi Donald,
Welcome to the rest of the world, all except North America, have worked on
a higher use of diesel for many years now. Brazil went the Alcohol way, but
seams to pick up biodiesel now again. The interesting thing is that all
diesel fuel in Brazil will be minimum B2 from coming Novem
If anyone is interested in some personal experiences with Hybrids, I have
been driving my Honda Insight for over a year now. You can get pretty much
the mileage you want to get with this car...the way I drive, I usually get
between 45 and 50 miles per gallon. The car has digital readout on your

This certainly agrees with my personal experience and analysis. In
fact, I would go even further. My step-son bought a new 2004 Civic
Hybrid in January 2004. The car is very nice. It comfortably seats
four adults and the back seat is comfortable for my six-foot,
165-pound frame. However, he h
I'm by no stretch of the imagination, am expert. But,
I'd imagine that you might run into trouble as the
alcohol brings the cetane value down, effecting
combustion.
Can sombody offer some feedback on this? Maybe (I
hope) it's not a serious concern.

Dear Micheal
Several research have been carried out to mix Ethanol/Diesel ,
but not yet come well come to comercial scale. See the previous post
here in this group to make microemulsion of ethanol and additives
which need to be pure , not hydrated.
With suitable additives which
Thanks for the input. I wanted to show concern, but
not discouragement. I think Mark is asking a really
good question.
A mixture of biofuels would effect dependance on one
or the other and I think it would be a great
achievement to develop a cost effective way to pull
this off.
