Correct! They are doing this because both will support extremely high compression ratios. It does not have a damn thing to do with the environment. If horse piss would support a compression ratio higher than ethanol and also burn they would use horse piss;

Yeah, but the family car's engine doesn't get torn down and rebuilt every 500 miles.

I tried ethanol back in the '70s and the car ran awful, just awful. However, with my newer computer controlled fuel injection cars I'd be willing to try it again if it were available in my area.
