only uses 5% ethanol and 95% gasoline. NOte very little infrastructure costs to making ethanol available (say compared to hydrogen compressed gas).

in terms of miles per galon of ethnanol produced what's that do to your figures. 25% to 30% decreased fuel consumption with 1/20th the amount of ethanol (compared to using strait ethanol). or 33% to 43% more miles for every 1/20th of a gallon of ethanol. Or 20 times that many miles for every gallon of ethanol produced. Figure cost of production to miles gained then.
