[QUOTE="oexing, post: 113123, member: 1493"] I do not believe that ethanol was cheaper than petrol. The actual price of petrol is only maybe a quarter of what you pay at the station and I do not believe ethanol grown from plants is cheaper than that. So I do not expect to find much of it in super plus or any kind that is not bound to a certain added percentage by the legislator. Ethanol is certainly a big factor in aviation when piston engines are run on mogas. Avgas is leaded fuel and no alcohol guaranteed, but price is very high and supply difficult in many countries. The problem is any water in the tanks mixed in alcohol may freeze at high altitudes - which you would not want at all. Vic [/QUOTE]
