Ironically, ethanol was used extensively as an ICE fuel before our grandfathers were a thought.

Samuel Morey, the inventor of one of the first internal combustion engines, and the more commonly known Nicholas Otto, who revolutionized the field with the Otto Cycle and developed the first “modern” internal combustion engine, both built engines to run on ethanol (Ethanol Timeline). Henry Ford’s first automobile, the quadricycle, as well as his famous Model T could both use ethanol as a fuel source, and the American automobile pioneer himself considered alcohol-based substances like ethanol “the fuel of the future.”
