They tried that but it cuts back on the profit for the oil companies.
Ethanol is also a little on the expensive side to produce in mass quantities.

ethanol is more efficient, cleaner, and more powerful.
btw, i believe most fuels already contain like 15+% of it...but the petroleum companies are totally screwing us by not letting ethanol get big. you can make the stuff, its basically unlimited in terms of supply...not like shitty oil.

I agree I think it should be more available for use. I believe it is more volatile than gasoline though and burns hotter than gasoline does as well.

so does hydrogen...and hydrogen owns ethanol in terms of that.
if companies were really determined it wouldn't be a problem
dont you think when people stopped burnign wood in favor of gasoline they would have said "that is more volatile!"
