More Homemade Gas

Posted on February 15, 2006 | Filed Under Energy, Science

Seems that with today’s skyrocketing gas prices, my small post on “Homemade Gas” has been fairly popular. It’s not getting the most direct traffic, but it is getting consistent traffic from web searches. Not surprising as, even as gas has come back from $3, I am sure that anyone with an SUV still feels like vomiting everytime they fill their tank.

Check out biodiesel.org and journeytoforever.orgAlso, I’ve been looking at the E85 fuels which are quite interesting. E85 is an 85% grain based ethanol blend. While cars and trucks that use the E85 don’t seem to get any better gas mileage, I believe the cost of operation coupled with the cleaner burning fuel make for a popular combination. Add in that mass implementation would make us more energy independent, and you might have a winner.

Good info on E85 here at www.e85fuel.com and at the US DOE here.
