[Pokipoki]

I agree with Kobmat. I really agree that it is the appopriate thing to do right now, looking for an alternative source of energy.

it is time to think seriously about price controls.. although the oil giants clearly do not have complete control over gas prices, they do have the ability to set prices above competitive rates.. why should industry regulate the market instead of democratic government authorities? if only our government could act at breaking up monopolistic and oligopolistic corporations..

ETHANOL - BRAZIL EXPERIENCE

Brazil experience of its 30-year-old fuel alcohol programme, which was launched after the 1973 oil crisis.
Fuel alcohol or ethanol produced with sugar cane has replaced a large part of the petrol consumed in this country of 178 million. Nearly 20 percent of the cars in Brazil run exclusively on ethanol. In addition, all of the petrol consumed in the country consists of 20 to 25 percent fuel alcohol, which saves on oil imports and reduces air pollution and smog.
Brazil produces around 16 billion litres of ethanol -- half ofÊthe total global production -- of which 14.5 billion litres are consumed domestically. Exports are expected to rise fourfold by theÊend of next year. ... Proalcohol emerged in response to an emergency: the sudden skyrocketing of international oil prices. Brazil imports over 80 percent of the petroleum and by-products consumed domestically.

Brazil and GM develop an engine that runs on petroleum, ethanol or any combination. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5829046/

Yes the Philippines can have cars like it. Plant sugarcane first.

Follow traffic rules.

The least congested the traffic will be the least gas will be consumed.
