Yes, they always denature Ethanol for cars with gasoline or Methanol.  You can't really drink it.  I think that Ethanol is still more expensive per gallon to manufacture than gasoline, but as gasoline prices rise, that may change.  We use a Ethanol / gasoline mixture here to control hydrocarbon emissions, but it is more gasoline than Ethanol.

We have 5% ethanol in all "regular" gas. It also helps preventing water in the gas to freeze and destroy the fuel system in the winter.

Only if you drive on pure ethanol. You wouldn't like E85, with 15% gas in it, or methanol. ;)
AS thing?

No, I guess that he was probably joking, so I was joking back.  ;)

I think the gasoline here where I live in Colorado is 10% Ethanol, but I am not completely sure about this.  It is cleaner burning than pure unleaded gasoline.

I think you're right about the percentage. It's no problem driving a modern gasoline car on 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol. There'll be less hydrocarbons, like you say.

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh-more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh-guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

The fact that he's a double dealing dick is not news, folks. He's a liar.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
