I've always been an advocate for Ethanol and will continue to be. I've delivered the stuff all over the midwest. From the distillery to to fuel terminals and fuel stations. Likewise, I've been to a few refineries also. It's no mystery which one is greener. There's no deep sea drilling or pipeline construction involved in Ethanol production. A John Deere and a Kenworth are probably the most advanced pieces of equipment required.
It's also no mystery that Ethanol is not Carburetor friendly. The automotive world has know that since, well, always. We're living in the 21st century now, 2012 to be exact. It's time we live up to the fact that the carburetor is archaic.
My point is that, if an engine is built to run strictly ethanol or another alternative fuel, the gap between what is efficient or non efficient gets very, very narrow. The modern way of doing things is to modify a gasoline engine to work on the alternative fuels. I don't think that's the way to go. My belief is that they should run on one or the other not, "all of the above."
