Also considering how the logistics may increase the footprint of a presumably "cleaner" fuel, due to the increased amount of tanker-truck trips necessary to supply gas stations with either pure ethanol or some high-ethanol blend such as the E27 mandatory in Brazil, it does become a matter of concern. Had either other feedstocks such as corn being more widely used for ethanol brewing, and smaller distilleries being more widespread at a regional level decreasing the miles the fuel would have to be hauled until it reaches the customer, ethanol could've still be taken more seriously.
