Best known is the diluted variant called gasohol, the blend of 90% gasoline and 10% alcohol that is sold in the U.S. at more than 1,000 service stations, and is widely available in Brazil in an even richer mixture of 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline. Now, however, a number of alky-boosters are touting the virtues of using the ethanol undiluted.

But the artificial diet, alas, produced almost snow-white lobsters (unlike the motley-colored beasts in nature). For anyone who thinks this might be objectionable, Conklin's advice: add a dash of paprika or some other natural coloring to the feed.
