    Default Alcohol

    Methanol is corrosive, ethanol is compatible with most vehicles produced after 1990. Ethanol absorbs moisture out of the air, thus is hygroscopic. It's true you need more alcohol to travel a mile than gasoline. Some vehicles are already E85 compatible. There are devices that can be added to let you run your vehicle on a mixture of ethyl alcohol and gasoline. It usually involves lengthening the time a fuel injector is open. All Indy 500 cars now run on pure ethanol (ethy alcohol). I got most of my info from http://www.journeytoforever.org/ethanol.html

    Another good point about Diesel is that in a SHTF scenario, most places will be selling out of gasoline long before they sell out of diesel.
