I think one aspect that needs to be look at is there needs to be a purposely built E85 vehicle. Not a SUV/Cross Over type vehicle.

To give ethanol a fair chance the manufactures need to build a small turbo engine around 1.3L with direct injection. The FE would be amazing without sacrificing HP. Plus the emissions would be extremely good.

I also don't think that we need to convert all the gasoline vehicles to ethanol. The same can be said for diesel and EV vehicles.

We need to look at all types of fuels and new engine designs and not limit any of them at this time.
