Given that the largest proportion of fuel is mixed in to run richly, so as to provide a heat sink to slow and cool the combustion (there was a reason we added lead and/or MTBE to gasoline) to prevent knock or melting the engine, we are effectively throwing out half the gas unburned, or rather, spewing it out in a deliberately inefficient fashion. Now, we could (and have) inject other liquids in with the fuels, but they do bring their own problems, not the least of which is having to maintain two consumables tanks.

Goddamn, but I'm glad I've removed Microsoft entirely from my home life. I only have to put up with its bullshit at work, and even that might not last as I push the boss to give Ubuntu a try.

Gee, and it only took how long for this to be taken seriously as an idea? How long ago did I read about this idea of recipient determined email "toll" charge? Almost 8 years?

Made sense then. See "Release: 2.0" (since updated to 2.something, I believe) for details.
