the liquid fuel energy gain, is more than ten to one

You should actually try reading the link you posted.

As you can see, the fossil energy input per unit of ethanol is lower—0.74 million Btu fossil energy consumed for each 1 million Btu of ethanol delivered

Also the information contained in the link about gasoline is incorrect.

are you capable of understanding what the word
--> liquid <-- means ?
it means, kinda watery

coal, natural gas, are not liquids
liquid is not necessarily 'fossil'

who gives a flying f''' about 'fossil',
as long as it doesn't come from the a-rabs
