Home Made Ethanol
A good analogy is the labeling of cigarettes. Labeling gasoline that it contains ethanol is like labeling cigarettes that they contain paper – ethanol is the only part of gasoline that would not hurt you.

Chocola: Explore, conserve more fuel
SOUTH BEND -- U.S. Rep. Chris Chocola says he has a four-point plan for reducing energy costs that starts with finding a way to lessen its reliance on foreign oil and includes increased domestic exploration, more conservation and making sure that price gouging isn't tolerated.
Energy costs become a "personal experience" when we pay $3 a gallon at the pump, Chocola said, but the whole cost of energy includes the fuel we buy to heat our homes and even buying things made out of plastic.
To start with, Chocola said, "we need to have alternative sources of energy like renewable fuels, which is ethanol, biodiesel and also alternative fuels, which would be things like wind, solar and battery."
"We also need to increase domestic production of traditional fuels, like oil and gas," he said.
Will alternative auto power make sense in '07?
More than in any previous model year, 2007 will signal a time when consumers will have more choices regarding fuel efficiency in their new car than just selecting a four, six or eight-cylinder engine. Will it be the year you buy a gas-electric hybrid car, one that will run on ethanol or perhaps a sedan with a diesel engine? Not surprisingly, finding the vehicle that saves fuel and makes economic sense in the long run will require a buyer to do a lot of homework. High gas prices have made fuel economy a major concern of many buyers, but tax-law changes, cost-trimming efforts by some businesses and other factors have created often confusing choices. Are you considering a hybrid because of big tax breaks that go along with the purchase? While that's true for some hybrid vehicles, others qualify for very modest tax breaks and not too far into the 2007 model year, the tax breaks for some of the most popular and fuel-efficient vehicles are likely to vanish.
