@EngineeringNibbles if he thinks ethanol is bad for the environment, then he either didn't do any research on it, or he researched from oil companies rather than the Brazilian ethanol, or by people such as yours truly who produces ethanol and runs several vehicles on it. When you burn ethanol in an engine, be it piston or even jet engines, it actually cleans the air. There is so much erroneous misinformation out there its staggering, and people who know just about nothing about it keep pushing the propaganda.

@ianferreiraian I do it too, in northern Michigan. I've achieved better mileage on ethanol than on gasoline, while making A LOT MORE power.. not a little bit, a lot more. Can't run gasoline in my ethanol engines though, the high compression and heat will rattle them to death as it spark knocks itself into a thousand pieces. Ethanol makes more power than gasoline, however how much water is still in it affects how much power you get. 10% isn't that bad, 30% will see a big drop in power. I got into making ethanol and running my old muscle cars on it back in 2007, when gasoline was $5 a gallon here. I am a disabled veteran, so I have a fixed income and cannot earn more. So I have to find ways to save money so I could buy car parts rather than all my cash going to energy. Tuning for ethanol is very different from gasoline. It will run with a gasoline tune, but you won't get the most out of it in power nor mileage.
