Moonshine Running: Cars On White Lightning

moonshine jug

Flashnews Article - "...an unemployed Michigan ditch-digger (is) using his time off to build personal home distilleries that let folks turn corn, potatoes or other starchy materials into ethanol – an alcohol that can be used to power cars.

It’s basically the same process used to make moonshine, except you mix a little bit of gasoline in the final product so it will burn properly in an auto engine. "

It’s not alot of savings but close.

"...you can run the plant in your kitchen from a gas stove and the resulting fuel would cost you only $1.40 per gallon – plus it burns cleaner and more efficiently than gas."

But "Still" is it worth it?
