However - the question came to mind...if oil gets so high in price that people
actually would try making ethanol from "Rubbish" - kitchen plant material,
grass clippings, tree leaves, pig dump, whatever would FERMENT....
Could one get the wondrous Geo Metro to run on such stuff...?
Not a dumb question what with us having to pay Gawd Awful prices for gasoline!

BTW - Thank you, all you
Environmentalists who've stopped all new refinery
construction, oil drilling, oil exploration, nuclear power plant construction -
your efforts may take us back to the Stone Age...for everyone except
you
of course....
