Ethanol is... 115-octane, so it's potent octane-booster. Much better than those little bottles you get at FLAPS. I've been getting very good results with E85 on boosted vehicles. Downside is that -OH group in alcohols is HUGE and it displaces regular carbon & hydrogen. So you end with fewer C & H to combust per gallon. Automatic loss in MPG, -30% on E85.

Corn lobby is very powerful and they've been very successful at shoving their products everywhere through legislation.
