Ethanol ruins your engine, gets less MPG, and costs more to use in the long run. Why anyone would want to use this junk is beyond me.

What's the lesser evil, imperfect domestic ethanol or foreign oil that we cannot afford?

As a side note to promising energy alternatives, consider this high density fuel cell.

How does ethanol ruin your engine??? I’ve known farmers who’ve used it in their vehicles and never had any problems with it. It burns cleaner than gasoline.
