I'm not talking about ehtanol for a boat, I'm referring to use in vehicles that have engines designed for its use. Cars/Trucks with these engines, usually called FFV, Flexible Fuel Vehicles, are designed and built to use these fuels. Not only are the components a little different, like hoses, o-rings, and fittings, but the computers are programmed a little different to recognize the fuel in the tank, even when mixed with normal gas, to optimize burn. Fuel economy is the same, emmissions are less, and right now the price of a gallon is 65 cents cheaper where it is available... Oh, ethanol is corn, the money would not be funneled into trouble places like the middle east but into US farms (sure, already subsidized in some cases by the govt)...
