My idea in pushing SVO use as much as possible is that a big enough pool of users might persuade the automakers to start putting some work into multifuel diesels, and Elsbett has paved the way. As for ethanol, I think all that work has been done in Brazil already. Ethanol use their seems to be more than somewhat political in its comings and goings, but athe waxings and wanings aside, its use has been very widespread indeed, and included a great deal of 100% ethanol use, with the factories geared to produce motors for it. So, maybe not much that's new is required. Best Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
