Jax. you are not the only one. And don't forget the oil that was burned planting, cultivating and harvesting the corn, hauling it to the distillary and grinding it up into mash, fermenting and distilling it.
About the only advantage I can see to alcohol infused gasolien is in the Great Frozen North (And occasionally South) in the winter.. Back in the 1970's before E-xx was in the pumps. I had a car with "Gas Line Freezup" One station near me sold I think e1 or e2 (that is 1 or 2 percent booze) no more gas line freezup. (My Advice Sir, Get De-Icer)
Another ham was describing his car's issues. (Run for like half a mile and stal out restart run another half mile....) well I'm discussing it with another ham who has called a tow for him when he stalls out again, in front of a hardware store. The other ham ask "What can you do about it" after I properly diagnosed gas line freezup.. Well Dry-Gas (Alcohol) is or was, sold by hardware stores. He made it the rest of the way home and went back the next day to buy a case.
Today that does not happen so much thanks to E-10. it's freeze proof.
That's is the ONLY advantage
Oh later. My Daughter's Godfather was lauging at me for overpaying for gas at the "De-Icer" station... Till I towed his ride to the shop for 300 in Fuel Pump from the water in what he was buying.
