Amid finding ways to make energy-efficient fuel, a new process to convert biomass to a mixed alcohol fuel has come to serve the consumers. This mixed alcohol fuel contains more energy compared to fuel ethanol. Thanks to Prof. Mark Holtzapple, a Texas A&M chemical engineering professor.
Applied in a passenger car, the StarRotor engine could provide efficiencies of 49-55%, which is about 2.5 to 3 times more efficient compared to the conventional gasoline counterpart. This energy-efficient innovative engine gives you a fuel economy of 75 to 100 mpg. Holtzapple claims.

Wow... With the oil prices crisis we have, this will be very helpful. Talk About Cars! Maybe we should all use this kind of engine in our vehicles, in that way, we could also help in the oil problem.
