Pulling ethanol out of gas

And there you have it....

The start of...you guessed it...

JOHNNY WALKER RED

And a good reason to stick with a single malt.

Here's a concept from Capstone Microturbine:

Capstone Microturbine hybrid electric car

And if someone could mass produce a turbine which could be placed in the common everyday vehicle (fairly easy), which could be manufactured and utilized at a price point that would make the price of the vehicle economically feasible (impossible), then they would already be out there in great numbers. Talk about needing a transmission cooler LOL?

My point was there are other ways to make fuel. and there are much better engines than we are running now.

Interesting............ In the early 60's

"Building an individual car may have cost as much as $50,000 (equivalent to $386,000 in 2016) or $55,000 (equivalent to $425,000 in 2016)"

Those were destined to be a big seller for Chrysler, what the hell happened? LOL.

Noise ! the reason we don't have a turbine car is the noise.

I haven't tried it myself, but quite frankly that is similar to drying biodiesel (except for the food coloring).

If you try it, let us know how it works! I plan to try it sometime.

Your buddy is delusional.

...or just understands the science better than you do.

Probably delusional from drinking the fluid he decants!:B

When we realize the you can make a 1000 horse power from a turbine the size of a water melon, you'll realize we can make much better use of the crude thats in the ground. we need that crude for the other things we need beside gas.
The algae fuel concept removes fuel from our food chain. It is cheaper than what we do now and makes a lot more sense.
Just think, an aircraft turbine engine the size of a Truck 400 horse produces 14,000 horse power on a better refined diesel fuel which can be Made from algae.

It would discourage tailgating too........
