Re: pic: Ethanol powered car from GM

I was under the impression all you had to do to run a conventional car on ethanol was to re-jet the carberator (if it had a carb, making the jets about 15% larger)

I would think with a fuel injected engine it would be a trivial tweak to the engine control SW, or even a switch on the dashboard

so I am sitting here wondering, what exactly makes this an 'ethanol powered car' ?

I remember reading about people running cars and tractors on pure ethanol in The Mother Earth News (magazine) back in the '70s
