premium fuel is garbage, you know what makes it premium? ETHANOL, its made from corn, kinda like whiskey, and is dirt friggin cheap to make. did you know that you could make 5 gallons of ethanol in an hour? this dude figured it all out man check out his site http://running_on_alcohol.tripod.com/

you can distill ethanol stronger than regular gasoline, if you've ever heard of E-85 that would be 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (simmilar to gasohol which was 5-15% ethanol 85-95% gas, now they call this premium fuel)
ethanol burns much cleaner in an engine than gas because it has no nasty petrols and refined crap.

did you know almost all new cars are designed to run on e-85? any car that is fuel injected can be easily converted to run e-85 OR 100% ethanol by simply changing the air/fuel ratios.

very very entertaining discussion on gasoline, perhaps we should start a thread in the off post sec.?

yeah i have heard about the e-85 and e-100 and even though you pay more for it the car will run longer on it my dad just bought my mum a new mini cooper for christmas and it has a little thing saying how far it will go on the one tank and it works it out by travelling 10 ks and averaging how much fuel it used then it shows you the result and we put a full tank of premium in the car and it said we would get about 600k of it and when we ran out of the premium we put normal petrol in and it said we only could get 450-500k out of it so premium is better it should be cheaper than petrol but thats not going to happen if people can get more money for it they will :x

the problem is that there isnt a big enough ethanol producer to switch our country from depending on fossil fuels from foreign nations to producing our own fuel

besides presidents and politicians like bush are so involved and invested in big oil, they will never give up on all the money they've invested.

we should probably get on topic now..lol

You guys are f*ckin' idiots! You got a conspricy theory for everything GWB does, and if it is proven wrong you come up with another. Saying that GWB planned the 9/11 attacks is rediculos! I be more then happy to dicuss this topic if you started a new topic, but the current topic is "bunnings". Left Wingers :roll:

you guys? hey dude i stated the obvious, bush is tied with oil, just like his father. How many oil companies did bush own? two? three?
i didnt say dick about a conspiracy theory so leave me out of "you guys"

and yes that is completly f*ckin' retarded to say bush planned the 9/11 attacks.. he might be an idiot but hes still an american.

sorry... off topic again
