Why do you think we are not driving ethanol cars today?
because oil, and gas companies pay government to keep you their bitches.
Many countries, like Brazil, run cars on pure ethanol, and this makes it a competition to gasoline, which gas companies hate.
Over 83% of new car sales in Brazil are flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) capable of running on any blend of ethanol (E100) and gasoline. While the majority of vehicles are capable of using high-percentage ethanol, actual consumption varies, with nearly all gasoline in Brazil currently blended with 27% to 30% anhydrous ethanol.
And ethanol engines run cooler, and last longer because they burn much cleaner.
That’s certainly a part of the reason. But I guess a bigger issue is ethanol production where you’d need large fields for “growing” ethanol instead of food. And lastly, it still produces co2.
