But what if you could make your own fuel and bypass the entire gas industry?That's the idea behind the eFuel Microfueler: Home brewed ethanol, on the cheap. Tom Quinn started toying with the concept after realizing that the gas industry is years away from a large-scale infrastructure for ethanol delivery and bogged down by regulatory measures. [Notes:SOT:Thomas Quinn Founder and CEO E-Fuel corp]QUINN DISCUSSES FOR HOME BREWING CAN BYPASS THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY.So how does it work? According to Quinn, it can produce Ethanol from raw sugar or can even distill it from discarded alcohol from restaurants with a cost per gallon at just under a buck. [Notes:SOT:Thomas Quinn Founder and CEO E-Fuel corp]QUINN DEMOS AND DISCUSSES DEVICE With the national average for a gallon of regular gas at just under $4.00 a gallon, ($3.96) Quinn hopes the Microfueler could one day become as common in American households as the refrigerator. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

idk i can make a home made still, save a bunch of money and only spend more time. this machince cost alot and is only limited to how much alcohol is made. if you made a homemade still you could make much more. its a cool idea but alcohol cost more in other areas or seasons. plus cars use amost double a gallon with gas so its actually $2 a gallon instead of $1 if running on pure. only question. can alcohol be made only from sugar, water and yeast? or does it have to be mixed with mash??

Low quainity production Ethanol is cheaper than $4 a gallon gasoline. If a vehicle is optimized for ethanol it will run fine. Regretfully not all vehicles are equiped to run 100% ethanol. Farmers deserve what every business they get as they are the backbone of this nation and whatever we can do to bring USA grwon produce is good for this country.

The federal government does not ban the production of alcohol for fuel purposes. Simply submit a 4 page form to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau form TTB F 5110.74 to the TTB. With this approved form you can produce 10K gallons of fuel grade ethanol a year.Local, county governments can not slacken a federal law but can tighten its requirements. This ethanol is chemically the same as Moonshine but is denatured when mixed with 15% gasoline, or other fuels.
