And EV’s are even better at it. And public transportation.
Overall, we need to work towards on mass public transport, EV’s in smaller vehicles, and hydrogen fuels for larger vehicles. Ethanol could still be produced for the things that absolutely can’t work as an EV or fuel cell, but the scale we make it at is way larger than needed for that
Basically nobody in the current era is suggesting ethanol as an alternative to any of the things you are mentioning, and realistically ethanol is not being used as a primary fuel source. Most cars can’t even take E85 without modifications. It’s used as a fuel additive, for which is has significant public health benefits, and for industrial uses like a perfumery ingredient or a solvent
It’s valuable for reducing smog and makes great fuel for performance cars

Okay? How is that relevant?

@nBodyProblem @mnemonicmonkeys at a 40% efficiency hit yes. It is great for turbos!
