I was encouraged to see on TV that brazill uses a ton of ethanol. Assuming that somehow we could get past the oil companies in the USA from keeping us away from ethanol, how hard would it be to take my Tundra 2003 and retrofit the engine so that it could run on ethanol ? How much work is involved, would it be relaistic to do that, and what might be a ballpark figure of how much I'd have to pay a mechanic to do it assuming it would be possible in the near or distant future ? I saw that some cars could be converted. I was bummed that it's the first new car I ever bought, I have a small pop up camper on it that hurts the gas milage, but I love it, it's 6 cyclinder. If gas goes to more than $4 a gallon I have thought I may have to get an old tercell to kick around in and have 2 cars.
