Re: No Policy Needed said by pnh102:Ethanol as a motor vehicle fuel exists because the US government decided that it should. It costs much more to make than ordinary gasoline and is less powerful. Ok Off topic but I need to comment here.
Ethanol's existed well before the US Govt decided to get behind it. It does use more energy to create in the form we make it today, but that does not have to be the case.
By the way, ethanol is NOT less powerful than gasoline. That's pure fabrication, just ask the folks who outfitted a Z06 to run ethanol as the pace car for the Indy 500 or perhaps the Corvette team in ALMS who's run ethanol for several years now. At least for the pace car, they got more HP out of the ethanol conversion, and that's coming from the Vette engineers directly.
