\nDrinking and driving certainly isn\u2019t encouraged, though a bit of alcohol in your car\u2019s fuel tank seems just ideal. Well, at least that\u2019s what the guys at Edinburgh Napier University’s Biofuel Research Center think. Researchers have come up with butanol biofuel from whiskey by-products. And if you just love your scotch on the rocks and worry that too much whiskey will be wasted for cars, you really need to think again! The researches haven\u2019t actually been pouring bottles of whiskey into fuel tanks. What they\u2019ve been doing instead, is using by-products of whiskey, including pot ale, a fluid coming from distillery equipment, left over grains, and is made in a process that the World Wars used to make explosives.<\/p>\n
\nThe fuel is up to 25% more efficient than ethanol, used more widely to power cars today. Anyways, it certainly looks like the world needs a lot more whiskey, for our drinking satisfaction and for our cars too.
