Corn Cob Alcohol May Boost Cheap Gas Octane
Government tests from the Agriculture Department show alcohol water mixed with regular gasoline can let high compression engines run on lower octane fuel. Milner reports a truck, tested over 2,000 miles, used 6 to 10 percent less fuel with an alcohol water injector at lower and mid speeds, suggesting savings without higher fuel costs. The work aims to boost farm alcohol use and expand engine efficiency.

Methods to raise alcohol demand aid farmers and motorists

Increasing demand could raise prices, enabling use of farm residues and benefiting both farmers and motorists. Faience refers to glazed pottery.
