If the general public knew that big oil could provide the fuel for a much more efficient vehicle, the whole alt. energy business goes bye bye. The alt fuel will NEVER go bye bye. It's not about energy, it's about wiping out the human race.

Rubbish. I was Big Oil. It's amazing how technologically illiterate people keep on with the "Big Oil is hiding the dinkum oil" script: < If the general public knew that big oil could provide the fuel for a much more efficient vehicle, the whole alt. energy business goes bye bye. > I admit to tricking a service station attendant that my Honda Accord ran on water, by getting him to tip water into the fuel tank. But such things are just for fun. They should not get belief "out there" that cars really can "run on water". That 1981 Honda Accord ran on a mixture of 99% methanol/1% deionized water, and I hoped the half litre of water would mix in nicely with the methanol, which it did. I had called in for a litre of petrol to go into the tiny preheat fuel tank. Thermodynamics is well over 100 years old. There is no magic. There is no secret fuel formula hidden by Big Oil. Where do you get these ideas? Mqurice
