Audi has an A4 that ran 227mph on this stuff, maybe there is something to it?
Its the purified form of what crops in a no-oxygen environment emit while decomposing, similar to wood-gas in a gassifier. Its mostly Methane with a good chunk of CO2 in it aswell. Supposedly has an octane rating of up to 140 [!/?], could find a use in some project jets/rockets. How hard would it be to setup a mini bio-gas still in the backyard, throw some corn in with your rabbits droppings?

Hi Zippy
this would be an interesting post to add to the thread on alternative fuels I just started over in tools and construction, would you mind if I copied it over in to that thread?
