 First cars produced in Brazil with dual fuel engines 
   The Brazilian branches of Magneti Marelli and Bosch developed a
   bi-fuel system based on a chip that recognizes the type and
   proportion of fuel blend, allowing the owner to choose between
   petrol and ethanol or to mix both in any quantity in the same
   engine.  This technology provides the car owner with the best
   choice regarding fuel prices, availability or gas emissions. 
   Volkswagen produced the first 1.200 passenger cars with the
   system.  Fiat, Ford and General Motors will launch cars with
   this system in the middle of the year.  The additional cost of
   the system is expected to be less than 10% of the total cost of
   the car.  But, as an incentive for the system, the tax on the
   production of such vehicles will be 2% lower than for petrol-run cars.

 New research on production of biodiesel 
   Biodiesel:  new techniques were developed on biodiesel using
   vegetal oil in reaction with ethanol through electromagnetic
   radiation.  Using soybean coconut, sunflower or other kinds of
   oil, this technology can produce a volume of fuel 30 times as
   big as the volume produced in European of North-American
   plants using methanol. 
   The Brazilian National Agency for Petroleum will eventually
   issue directives regarding the use of the fuel. 
   (April/2003) 

 The government authorizes the blend of 25% of ethanol to petrol 
   The Interministerial Council for Sugar and Alcohol (CIMA)
   approved the addition of 25% of ethanol to petrol, up from the
   current 20%, from 1st of June on.

 *** The Brazilian subsidiary of Volkswagen this week unveiled plans to sell
 only dual-fuel vehicles in three years' time.  VW was the first carmaker to
 launch a dual-fuel automobile in Brazil.  The Gol Total Flex runs either on
 gasoline, fuel ethanol or any mix of the two fuels combined.

 Alcohol or gasoline?  You decide in the rank
 We test the first car that uses alcohol or gasoline in any ratio

   FOUR WHEELS tested, with exclusiveness, the Total Goal Flex.  E the numbers 
had confirmed
   the optimistical forecasts.  The consumption numbers had been well next to 
the ones to the Goal
   Power 1,6 the alcohol and the gasoline, tested in the edition of October of 
the last year:  With
   pure alcohol, the Flex Total made 5,29 km/l in urban stretch and 10,29 in 
highway. Already with
   gasoline, the 7,64 numbers had been km/l and 12,91.  Already with mixture 
50/50, the car made
   6,37 km/l in city and 11,23 km/l in the road.
