It's not a very friendly fuel option for some because of it's availability. I was fortunate enough to have one 7 miles away from my house. I imagine more would run it if it were convenient.

it's only 15 cents cheaper here in the detroit area. being 85% as efficient as gasoline.... it would need to be $2.62 a gallon just to break even

I am not a fan of ethanol. If cars were tuned and built for it it is a good alternative but you have to burn more to get as far as gasoline. And availability is an issue. You can make amazing power from it but the entire market would have to switch over to make it viable. And now because of the corn issue groceries are costing more. It needs more r&d to be viable. Jmo
