The Ethanol Car
Is the Ethanol car closer than ever? the answer is still no, because the ethanol car actually already exists today.
In 2004, according to American Coalition for Ethanol, one third of US Gasoline was E10, which is an unleaded petrol solution, consisting of 10% Ethanol. While this is not a very big step, environmentally speaking, it is leaps and bounds from where the alternative fuel movement was ten years ago. Even massive amounts of the 10% solution won't began to deter the violent destruction of our atmosphere caused by gasoline, but it is still a big step in the right direction.
Why? Because any car can run on the E10 ethanol fuel, and the effect is an almost universal improvement on gas mileage and engine performance. While E10 doesn't run as efficiently or clearly as a car specifically built to run on ethanol heavy solutions, such as an E85 ethanol car solution, it still means that people are becoming aware of ethanol, buying ethanol, and most importantly, *using* ethanol.
Environmental aspects aside, ethanol cars and regular cars using the E10 solution run smoother, longer, and better than cars using petrol. This means that E10 is cheaper to use than other fuels, and that--after the initial investment--higher ethanol-content solutions would be even better on the budget.
