I think I would rather drink bourbon than use it as fuel! Make mine a double - no ice or water.

The Car That Runs On Bourbon
Of course it’s in Kentucky:

With fuel prices rising like they are going crazy, a  man from Kentucky probably came up with what is thought to be a  solution to gas prices of today. A 62 year-old man, Mickey Nilsson, of  Bardstown, Kentucky, made a bourbon-powered junk car. 
 It took Nilsson approximately six months to  manufacture the vehicle which actually runs on a $24 (EUR16.5) Makers  Mark bottle of bourbon. “The car will run on almost any bourbon, but she  really purrs on Maker’s Mark,” said Nilsson.
