As I see it there are a few things going for this type of fuel:

1) It is more sustainable, or renewable, if you are burning a product like this.
2) Every litre that is burned is one litre less to import or whatever as crude oil.
3) Farmers will have an alternative outlet for their product.
4) Engines will become more efficient at extracting the energy as development progresses.

But there are some downsides too:

1) Too much fossil fuel is going into the production cycle.
2) Still too much fossil fuel included in the fuel.
3) Too few designs to burn 100% and not enough incentive to introduce both products together - engines and full ethanol fuel.

Perhaps there are some new developments for the very near future, but piece-meal change in hiking up the ethanol content is bad for everyone. We need an alternative fuel and an alternative engine for the future.

When a 100% engine is available, and could compete with the present engines, and the 100% fuel is available nationally, then the taxation incentives could really get to work on converting people to a green fuel.

Biodiesel is a better bet I think, but both together would be the real way to reduce global warming and conserve the remaining fossil fuels for generations to follow. After all, gas is almost a by-product in the cracker, so if less dino-diesel was produced the gas fraction could be used for other alternatives
