This guy Chapman can't be right for the following reason. In Brazil there is no longer any subsidy for ethanol but the ethanol fuel sells for substantially less than gasoline. Half of the cars sold in Brazil now are able to use ethanol. Brazilians who own such a car are buying no gasoline. The energy advantage has to be real and noticeable. cf. ElMatador's posts. P.S. Gas guzzlers in temperate climates can't find ethanol so cheap because we have less sunlight and lower temperatures than tropical Brazil so the sugar cane doesn't grow so exuberantly. That rules out subsidies of course.
