Well, We CAN use ethanol in trucks and tractors, and we ARE.

However, it is generally not advisable to use more than a 10% mixture with gas without some modifications to the fuel delivery system. High concentrations of ethanol will cause corrosion problems, and do require some sort of atomization adjustments to the carb. I do not know much more about it.

I do hear that there are places in Minnesota that are offering gas with up to 85% ethanol. Claim that it works without problem, but I have yet to confirm that.

I think that ethanol is just one of about a half dozen things that could be further developed to reduce our dependance on foreign oil.
