Curious why do vehicles running alcohol idle with the vrump............vrump..........vrump sound? Is it something to do with the fuel, the fuel delivery or?

Nothing to do with the fuel, it's the blower governor. They can be set for a smoother idle, but then it wouldn't sound as impressive. It's all part of the show.
