Now it's even more with those cars. So, expect no less than Brazil's inner demand for alcohol to raise dramatically, now that it's been proven that it is a very viable alternative.

But tha's mainly due to lax EPA oversight- I'm sure that Brazil would never destroy it's irreplacable wetlands for a short sighted solution that will come back to bite them in the ass. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
