Redundant? How so? I would never consider your presence in this forum as
redundant. As for cars and petrol, well, my vehicule is far more utilitarian
than appealing, a 1998 Fiat Palio Weekend (station wagon), which does the job,
and petrol goes for about 63 cents a litre while alcohol, another fuel-type here
in Brazil, can be found for about 47 cents a litre.
