They have been working on a substitute for a few years now...........Ethanol in fuel is all to do with making money, and cant see why there is so little attention paid to its questionable benefits to the environment?

"questionable benefits" from ethanol are actually DEMONSTRABLE, PROVEN NET DAMAGE to the environment, not to mention the world's food supply due to ineffectual rotation of the worlds arable land.

I think there are a few places on earth right now that could use ethanol fuel effectively. I am involved in the fabrication end of a project to bring ethanol production to a West African country where the nationals are spending $30 per gallon for gasoline to get around fishing on about 60 islands. We're trying to come up with a cost effective and locally buildable way to turn cashew fruit into ethanol for their personal use. Luckily they also have caster oil which can be used with ethanol to make a 2 stroke fuel for outboards. We'll see how it goes.
