People Brew Own Gas To Beat Pump Prices

POSTED: 9:05 am CDT April 27, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Some people have become so desperate to find cheaper fuel for their cars they've begun making ethanol at home.

There are dozens of Web sites explaining how to make ethanol from homemade stills.

Bill Sasher, owner of a Tennessee company that sells ethanol stills and kits, said that once you're set up it costs about 75 cents a gallon to brew your own fuel.

Sasher said that with gas prices nationally closing in on $3 a gallon, his business is booming.

Most cars can run on a mixture of ethanol and gasoline, and the new flex fuel cars can run on 85 percent ethanol or regular gasoline

Boom is right. Isn't this a race to see who blows up their house first?

Americans making home-made fuel? Clearly, these are the end-times.

Not as cheap as it looks, but, you could also make some good drinking stuff in the off times.

Yeah, but you could also make stuff that'd blind you too. And explode. And burn down the house.

I think I'll stick with gasoline and burritos.

There is no Yucon Territories anymore it's Nunavut.

Further:
Those expecting Canada to be a blander version of the USA should check their assumptions at the door. Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country that is decidedly different from its brash neighbour.

It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions that gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought by migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society.

blah blah blah blah blah blah

Mountie Sgt. Preston, his horse Rex and his faithful dog Yukon King have stopped patrolling the wilds of the Yukon, they no longer battle both the elements and criminals, they were converted into bio diesel by Steve Anderson.
