Americans opt for backyard biofuel with Efuel's Microfueler

efuel microfueler.jpgLaunched in the States last week, Efuel 100's new 'Microfueler' is a handy device that allows motorists to address and effectively bypass the whole biofuels dilemma without even leaving the house.

Any vehicle that runs on petrol can run on ethanol, and the Microfueler lets you make gallons of your own out of water, sugar, and yeast. It's not cheap, at $9995, but its makers say it will pay for itself in about a year and a half. Shipping at the end of the year, the machine is available to pre order now. There's no word of when it'll be available outside the US, but it'll be interesting to see how many Americans choose to take the hotldy debated fuel issue into their own hands. [Via Gizmodo]

Hadn't heard of this yet. Maybe if they step up their marketing, their sales will follow. Would be a great idea for neighborhoods to pitch in and invest in one for the community. That way not one person is responsible for the cost.

Hadn't heard of this before. Maybe if they ramp up their marketing, more people would invest. Could be great for neighborhoods to invest in one, so the burden of cost could be reduced and everyone could participate in lowering their fuel emissions.
