...well, it seems pretty clear what we Plimates think about first when new technology comes around the block. "Will it blend get us drunk?"]]><![CDATA[pocksucket @ 5/13/2008 5:37:23 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61616/1/rss0_91.rss#q3
I've no idea about consumption for ethanol cars, but 35 gallons is a lot by anyone's standards.

Now I hate to see waste, so I feel like it'd be almost a duty to sip the remainder slowly, over ice, with the mixer of my choosing.

EDIT: due to slowness on my part, Kidsized posted the above while I was typing this and doing several other things, hence the overlap.]]><![CDATA[kidsizedcoffin @ 5/13/2008 5:31:27 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61616/1/rss0_91.rss#q2
A lot of states have laws that require that ethanol have chemicals added to it to make it non-drinkable, in order to avoid the "sin" taxes placed on the distillers of actual ethanol liquor.

Should this practice enter the home, I don't think it would be long until this regulation was bypassed.]]>
