They won't sell it here because it's diesel? Do they really think we are that stupid not to buy it because it burns diesel?

Re: The 65 mpg Ford car the U.S. Can't Have
GM's first factory-produced car in Brazil, the GOL, runs on gasoline, alcohol, ethanol, alcohol/ethanol/gasoline mix, or natural gas.
Six automakers offer flex fuel cars in Brazil. Peugeot, Volkswagen, Fiat, Chevrolet, Ford and Renault. 30% of all cars in Brazil are flex-fuel.
Did I say Chevrolet and Ford? I thought I did.
Ethanol can be made from wood chips, corn husks, and agricultural waste. The Model T ran on ethanol. That would suck, though.
You could produce ethanol and then burn the waste to supply the electrical grid. Dumbasses. Why would you want to do that?
And, no, cellulosic ethanol doesn't threaten the food supply. It's made from the parts of plants that can't be digested. Chalk another
scare campaign up to big oil.
Natural gas - well you know how natural gas can be produced. Don't we "burn-off" a potential fuel in our landfills?

Things are not always as rosy as presented in the Green Press.

Somewhere in the middle lies the truth... as with all things.
