So have you made calculations, is it cheaper than buying gasoline?

Yes, I know that in some African countries it is cheaper to

produce alcohol than import naphta oil ('cause they have a lot of

sugarcane),

so they even designed engines for local cars for alcohol use.

 

Or thare is another alternative - get a metan from cow dung (or horse

dung, pig dung, whatever), compress it and use with metan cars.

 

Or you can put on the top of your car solar panels (if you are rich

enough and there is sunny weather). But it's just for entertainment.

 

It is always better to have many alternative sources.

 

Hope you are well,
