Yeah, but only in low precision driving scenarios. For high precision driving, the Athlonascars can still only use gasoline (this will be the case until they introduce their 64-cyl engine next year). > OTOH, when the Peeeentiumobile and Athlonacar are run on > straight gasoline, the Athlonacar goes "hummmmmm" where as > the Pentiumobile goes "boing gadda boing gadda boing, > cough, choke, puke". Yeah, but that's because the Pentiumobile was made for Methanol. Sometimes you have to make concessions with "legacy" fuel. Granted, I personally prefer cars that use legacy fuel and perform well on it, but it is still valid to keep the enhanced fuel support on the Pentiumobile as a bonus sort of feature. -JC
