Although Ethanol itself has remained largely the same since the times of Henry Ford, thanks to Tom Quinn and his E-Fuel Corporation, there are now some interesting developments in the way this natural engine juice can be produced and dispensed.At a recent press event in NYC, Quinn and his associates revealed the EFuel100 MicroFueler - a new breed of fueling technology that lets drivers whip up their own ethanol at home. As GoodCleanTech points out, all you have to do is “dump in sugar, yeast, and water,” and you are good to go. Fitted with a 50-foot hose and an LCD touch screen, the MicroFueler isn’t terribly fastidious and will even churn out ethanol from alcohol in lieu of sugar.

“It’s almost third-grade science to make ethanol,” says Quinn, assuring skeptics and promising that this simple diet will yield a fuel output of 35 gallons per week. The EFuel100 will cost $9,995 and become available later this year.
