I wonder how well they run on rum?

I suspect not very.

Brazil automotive production is geared towards a high alcohol content in their fuel, between E20 & E100 (and that is sugarcane based alcohol, so the "raw material" for rum), but, the engines need to be modified and the fuel systems completely redesigned.

Thanks for the range of responses from Forum members. Interesting to read about impact of 'alternative' fuels but in this part of the world I'm many miles/continents away from sugarcane and the weather is usually cool and wet. regarding short cycle journey trips - not guilty as almost every trip the Jimmy makes is in the region of 20 miles, which allows engine and transmission components to thoroughly warm up.

Personally, I find it rather easy to subscribe to 'rogerzilla' logic regarding trying to make running costs appear more acceptable. It would be interesting to know for sure - how many LCV's are actually run as commercial vehicles? Certainly felt odd having to insure the LCV as a van but then declaring "not used for commercial purposes".
