The fact is that either side can find supporting documentation for their beliefs.
I try to base my decisions on the moral and ethical consequences of the issues I support. As far as oil consumption, the 'easy' solution is to drill more and more and more. To me, the ethical and responsible solution is to conserve, increase fuel efficiency and come up with alternative solutions to oil.
Each to their own.
We will have to agree to disagree. REX
When you bracket race with alcohol you learn such things as keeping tight caps on drums (the first time you lose $150 due to that one you won't do it again). You learn that it corrodes any bare aluminum surfaces. All the current gas tankers would have to be replaced or, if possible, have a lining applied (like acid tankers have). When I pulled chemical tankers, stainless was the only think we could use to haul anything with any kind of alcohol in it.
It gets VERY cold when it's circulated (try holding your hand over an outlet while someone's checking a fuel filter). It dries out plastic and rubber by drawing the moisture out of them. Fuel jugs that last years with gas become brittle after a couple years of methanol use. I also found out the hard way that some bearing brands/materials last NO time with it.
I liked bracket racing with it but, using it for daily transportation?
