Brazil sells 100% alcohol,regular gasoline and diesel at almost all the Postos.The cars that use alcohol are designed to run alcohol only.You can buy the same model car with either a gasoline engine,or alcohol engine.The alcohol cars don't have quite the power,or the fuel economy that the gassers do,due to the lower btu's of alcohol,but this is somewhat offset by the lower fuel price,usually 20-30 reias per litre.One thing they do have there that we don't is a wide variety of diesel powered small pickups.S-10's,Ford Rangers,Dodge Dakota's, Nissans,and Mitsubisi's are common,yield 30-35+ mpg.The full size Fords run an MWM straight 6 turbo diesel,as did the Chevy silverados.Some of the SUV's like the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Full size are turbo diesel powered,have excellent performance and yield surprisingly good fuel mileage of 28-30.I would much rather feed my Pajero at 30 mpg if I could send it here, rather than my Suburban at 12.
