The Model T Ford had a knob right on the dashboard to adjust the fuel-air mixture for either alcohol or gas.

Henry Ford preferred alcohol.

John D. Rockefeller, under the ruse of Christian temperance, gave 4 million dollars to a group of old ladies and told them to fight for Prohibition (they successfully used the money to buy off Congress). Why? Rockefeller owned Standard Oil, the main company pushing gas as an alternative fuel to alcohol.
