Biggest problems with Ethanol are twofold - 1) the amount of rainforest being felled to grow the plants from which it is extracted and 2) the reduction in milegage from the fuel -i.e. more petrol is used to go the same distance equating to the amount of ethanol included hence it is not anyway beneficial to the environment -- in my view it is a VERY detrimental move brought about by the big businesses benefitting from the manufacture and sale of Ethanol!!
