read but some very good information about Ethanol
Not much new there. The net effect is that you need to produce 3 gallons
of
ethanol to replace one gallon of gasoline. So if ethanol can be sold for
1/3
the per gallon cost of gasoline you're at least in a break even position
replacing gasoline with ethanol.
The numbers I've seen indicate 1.5 gallons of E85 (the highest useable
concentration of EToH) roughly equal one gallon of gasoline.
