Yep, you can. We even know about that in Oz.
Alternate Technology Assn has had recipes in their mag.
Also, some country petrol (gas) has 10-20% (?) Ethanol in it here.
They tried that here but ran into too many problems with it. Besides
costing about 20% more than straight gas, it gave slightly worse mileage
and it damaged a lot of stuff in the fuel system. It was particularly rough
on fuel injectors and any "rubber" parts. I tried the stuff in my old car
and found that it ran cooler. In fact, it ran too cool to operate properly.
