Ethanol was what I meant. Personally, I wouldn't mind the tradeoff in less gas mileage in exchange for the cleaner exhaust.
I know the oil companies (assisted by our government) have put out a lot of crap about how bad ethanol is, and how expensive it is, but that is really a lot of nonsense. Anything CAN be made expensively, our Big Brudder has proven that countless times. And anyone who thinks subsidies for ethanol are bad need to be asking why oil companies are running their profits through offshore banks, posting profits of $42 billion per quarter, AND ARE STILL GETTING ENORMOUS SUBSIDIES PAID FOR BY THE TAXPAYERS!
Someone did some figuring of the REAL costs of gasoline (ALL the costs, not just the obvious ones), and the rough estimate was as high as $15/gallon.
