First off, we're not talking about a small quantity here; we're talking about
nearly 10% of the fuel. That means several gallons, at a minimum, and that's
just for one tank of gas. Secondly, the alcohol used in the 70's was ethanol
made from corn; a distilled liquor. In essence, pure grain alcohol. It stinks
(as any old fratrat can tell you).
