its not a bad idea....but i prefer what the Austin Martin car has done last year and used ethnol (sp) which is alchol if im not mistaken? it doesnt affect performance....

ethanol is more powerful (well higher RON) than petrol. but you need changes to the engine to make it compatible (no alloying material to come into contact with the fuel).


air is interesting but comes under the same problems as with hydrogen, you need a lot of energy to be used prior before it can 'run' an engine.
