As long as the metal components of the fuel system are tollerant to ethanol (usually either chromed or nickeled to overcome the higher corrosibility of ethanol), go for it.

Not sure if such thing as "MPGe" would be so accurate. Must also consider all the energy consumption throughout the feedstock production and the ethanol brewing to get the correct energy balance. Trust me, I'm used to ethanol as an automobile fuel since my childhood.
