Only one problem with ethanol ... crap energy density compared to petroleum. I'm sticking to Shell Optimax premium fuel thanks to its turbo friendly additives.
Besides which, our cars here in Australia at least can't handle anything more than 10% ethanol in our petrol as it results in engine and fuel system damage. It has been documented for some time here. I'd like to see how your cars can survive on ethanol yet ours suffer. Must be something in the engineering of the engines and fuel systems that the ethanol otherwise attacks in our systems.

Read the stars, guys, we are getting screwed! The oil companies have been crying for years that oil prices are way behind inflation. I say, so what! I thought the idea was to keep inflation down in the first place. The Government needs to include fuel and food in the inflation indicators. Of course, if they do prime interest rates would be at 50% or more by now!
