and faded away just as you are predicting for ethanol
It didn't fade away. OPEC & Friends just opened the spigots and flooded the market until the alternatives went belly up. Americans fell in love with the 'cheap' gas. Until 9/11 anyway...then a lot of people began to understand that the gas was not so cheap no matter what the pump said.

Maybe I should rephrase...the product may not have faded away, but the hype for it certainly did....probably for the reasons you described, but I do remember the hype. Especially the little corn-shaped signs out front of the gas stations.
