these are two different subjects and only related when refiner mixes gasoline and ethanol. since the cars are flex, they can run from 100% 0% ethanol, or pure gasoline.

Motorists look at the pump, of price of ethanol is over 70% of the price of gasoline (compensating for less energy by volume of ethanol) they fill with gasoline.
