Then again our stupid country went along for the ride too... Yeah, maybe we should have allowed him to keep shredding people and stuff. I mean, why should the US be the world's police force? When's the last time someone thanked us? I mean, seriously, it's been 60 years since we bailed someone out and they were openly grateful for it, correct me if I'm wrong. My opinion on that was and is, we should've taken the guy out because he _was_ a credible threat based on the best available information, and then turned it over to them..."Here ya go, we fixed your problem. Make sure the next guy behaves or we'll have to come back and do it again if he starts threatening us and our interests again. Have a nice day." There's probably a reason I've never been called "diplomatic". > I haven't seen any cars here that are designed to work with the equivalent > of E85 fuel yet, but I'm sure they're on the way. What about the ecopower engine of a few years ago from Saab? I thought the whole point was it could burn whateverthehell you put in it? Further, do the boost, timing, and other parameters change dramatically with a different fuel, that you couldn't just add that part of the map to the ECU? Does Trionic need to know, or does it care, that it's burning something other than gasoline (or petrol even?) Dave Hinz
