From the best of my knowledge the Diesel was invented to run on oil.... peanut oil if I remember correctly. And a number of people seem to be running with oil just fine thank you.
Sooooooo using your logic... we should not experiment with alternative fuels because big ol' government EPA says so.
Using your logic we would never of had items like Penicillin, the Microwave Oven, Velcro and such.
Do you expect people to do what exactly? Wait until the government says it is OK?????
And you welcome high fuel prices...... well isnt that precious! All of this coming from someone that has removed their EGR and injects methanol???? POT KETTLE BLACK perhaps??? And I dont think the MVB engine was designed to be run on methanol injection. But that is just me.
