ethanol is a new type of gas made of vegetable wastes (I think) and it is supposedly better for the environment.


they are trying to sneak a little bit of it in regular gas too but its not as good fr your engine, unless you have a flex fuel engine.

ethonal, in small quanities, isnt bad for ur engine. unless ur running it in a diesel...

the problem is ethonal is it takes more fuel to go the same distance as gasoline because it has less BTUs per gallon.
