A British company called "British Sugar" is engaging in a pioneering project to develop UK-based bioethanol. The bioethanol can be produced from UK-gorwn Sugar Beet and Wheat.

The bioethanol is mixed in with the petrol and reduces the CO2 emissions by 50%.

And the great thing is, it's compatible with cars. It won't destroy the engines. A 5% use of bioethanol in the UK would give the equivalent carbon savings to taking 1 million cars off the road.

Same thing can be done with hemp I believe.

PureRebel 2005-09-02 06:13 PM
i saw something on BP's Website about prices of fuel.. they are only going up because of all out troops in iraq or something like that.. they are only using this to keep making petrol prices higher when there really is no need to they could be selling it for $1.70/g if our troops werent over there with those dogs

Sovereign 2005-09-02 11:06 PM
Your signature just made me rofl.

Sovereign 2005-09-02 11:06 PM

So, people are dying and it cost's you alittle more money, don't you have it hard.

platnum 2005-09-03 05:18 AM
3.35 a gallon where I am. Went up over a dollar since the hurricane.

Dar_Win 2005-09-03 09:18 AM
We have tons of oil in Alaska that could last us a long time, but the liberals wont let us touch it :(

oh, and its around 3.50 here

Grav 2005-09-03 09:20 AM
We don't NEED gas anymore! We could be using something else; something better! Goddamnit!

Lenny 2005-09-03 10:17 AM
Steam power!

12 cents a gallon (US) in Venezuela..

Let's start our own Zelaron-brand Biodiesal. I think it's about 25 cents a gallon to make, the only problem is the oil-industry mafia.

HandOfHeaven 2005-09-03 07:33 PM
So gas prices actually went down 20 cents to $2.79 because Kwik Trip managed to keep it that low, so the other stations lowered as well.

Kaneda 2005-09-03 08:30 PM
Ours are at $3.00

Original Sin 2005-09-03 08:59 PM
(CAD)$1.39.9/litre here.

Thanatos 2005-09-03 10:48 PM
A couple of gas stations around my area had to close for the time being because their computer system won't let it go above $2.99

Lenny 2005-09-04 06:53 AM
That's one clever computer system.

Hydrogen Cells eh...

I remember reading an article on www.torrentspy.com about a new motorbike that runs on hydrogen cells...unfortunately I can't find it as it was a few months ago and I can' find their article archive.

Afroman 2005-09-10 11:02 PM
I'm glad it dropped 10 cents recently, then again, it fucking rose 1.20 in most areas. Fucking inflation and 600% price robbing Saudi arabians.

JRwakebord 2005-09-10 11:42 PM
$3.24 here

Mantralord 2005-09-11 01:47 AM
average $3.00 here, but this one gas station around my college has it for $2.89

Lenny 2005-09-11 08:33 AM
This is one of those times you wish you had a company car and your company paying for the petrol you use. Then you'd be laughing all the way to the petrol station.

Sovereign 2005-09-11 07:38 PM
The company would probably take that car back if the gas bill is too high -.-

No.

My dad has to drive up and down california all day selling people home improvement. He doesnt pay for the gas, he recalls it in his taxes basically saying that he shoudl have to pay it because its his JOB and therefore he spends 100$ a day on gas and might only make 150$ a day.(even though he make slike 5000 a week he still makes the gov. pay for his gas or his company or something)

its HIS car too

Sovereign 2005-09-11 09:59 PM
And I'm talking about a car a major corporation is allowing someone to use....

!King_Amazon! 2005-09-12 01:25 AM
And I'm bashing my head in more and more every time Lenny says "petrol."

Lenny 2005-09-12 02:51 PM
Hey, petrol's the word I use, and petrol's the word I'm gonna say.

As for the car, I've got a mate who's dad has had the car since the last petrol crisis over here. He's been spending thousands on petrol and the company don't mind. It might be worth saying that it was he who gave himself the car as he is the manager for that branch.

Gasoline.

Another thing preventing the release of many alternative fuel sources is that oil companies are snapping up Patents for engines that use alternative fuel sources, due to their stubbornness to change their assets around.

Hell, I was talking with my Uncle a while back, and he had actually drawn up the plans for an engine that would seperate the hydrogen from water (forgot the term for that), burn it as fuel, and have a recondensing chamber to minimize water loss as well. Problem was that he was in the Army at the time, and legally anything you invent while in the Army can be patented by the Government.

Does that mean my "Porn-Organizer" is technically a product of the ARMY?

At least it can't be said you're all wasting your time doing things that don't help or contribute to the greater good of the world.

gas·o·line (găs'ə-lēn', găs'ə-lēn')
n.
A volatile mixture of flammable liquid hydrocarbons derived chiefly from crude petroleum and used principally as a fuel for internal-combustion engines.

[GAS + –OL(E) + –INE2.]

Petrol.

That can't work because the amount of energy released as heat when hydrogen combusts with air is equal to the amount of energy required to separate them to combust. If it did the separation by dialisis, it'd be more efficient to just use an electric power plant.
