<<Ethanol is another name for alcohol as in rubbing, whiskey and many other uses, etc. >>

Ethanol is a type of alcohol that is different from what you drink. It smells a lot like wood alcohol.

You mentioned it had less power than straight gas, and a 100% Ethanol has about 10% less power than gas, but the Indy 500 runs pure 100% Ethanol. I wouldn't call those cars slow at 200+ mph.

The advantage to 10% Ethanol is you get a 60% cleaner burn. What you lose in power from the Ethanol you gain from burning your gas more completely. + Less pollution. + no water in the gas line from condensation.
