I've understood that it's some rubber or plastic parts that start to degrade, not the metals. I'm thinking it's just a new chip or reprogramming the ECU injection/ignition curves and an ethanol/gas ratio sensor, since you can tank either (hence the term flex-fuel). They probably slap in ethanol

A potentially weird aside: If woody feedstocks are effective, I wonder if
the paper industry could make ethanol from their pulp, and still use the
resultant stock for paper production?

I was under the impression they already do. In Washington, the
oxygenated gas was supposedly made from ethanol byproduct of the paper
pulp industry, rather than the MTBE stuff.
http://www.ethanol-gec.org/information/briefing/20a.pdf is an
interesting report from 2000 on this.

Sounds like it was a good idea, then ;-) I hadn't heard of it before; it
was just something that occurred to me as I was reading.

As mentioned in the original, wood is composed primarily of lignin and
cellulose.
the short ans is no, the pulp is the carbohydrate portion which must be
hydrolyzed to afford the fermentable sugars.

The lignin is not fermentable so is not a significant source of ethanol.
It may be possible to produce methanol from the lignin waste via
destructive distillation.
