I'm finding it hard to get excited about ethanol. Not only is the
energy input equation less than stellar, it has 80% of the energy of

and the engines that burn it are far more efficient. The VW diesels
(that the EPA will only allow in limited numbers) spank every thing
on the highway including the hybrids and their best one, the Polo
isn't available here. Biodiesel has 85% of the energy of dino-diesel
so a VW TDI getting 50mpg on dino will get 42.5mpg on B-100.
