Ethanol is used mostly at 10% as previously stated to cut emissions,not corrode fuel systems and not rquire re-jetting.
Ethanol is distilled from the grain mash and that heat energy has to come from $$$ somewhere. Plus the cost of grain, equipment and transportation.
Unless you are using steam from a nuclear reactor during off peak at nights and on weekends. The cost of boiling off the ethanol with natural gas, LP or petro fuel oils will neevr pay.
The only way ethanol is limping along at all is tax incentives. And making fuel companies look good along with the polititions in the media.
The oils squeezed from grains have a much lower energy input cost. Feed value is still better than brewers grain afterwards too.
