Default Re: Reducing the world's fuel use - my idea

Alcohol is a great fuel, you just need massive injectors or carb jets big enough to stick a knitting needle through. But it's got a massive charge-cooling effect and a very high octane rating. But you burn twice as much. A mate of mine had a jawa 500 a while back and we dropped the CR and jetted it for normal petrol, I think we went from a 240 main jet to about a 110.
