I don’t think that includes the losses between the ethanol plant and the eventual burning in a retail vehicle.

That would make it an even worse deal wouldn't it? But if you're talking about transportation from production facility to retailer then gasoline has the same cost. Or are you talking about evaporation?

Alcohol being hygroscopic has to be trucked and mixed at the terminals before delivery to the gas stations.

It can’t go through the piplines as finished gasohol, to my understanding.

Then you don’t get the same fuel economy and have to stop for fuel more often.
