Would an ethanol-only production car get milder emissions requirements? Are there any other government incentives for ethanol only cars?

I would expect the same to apply in the U.S. if a dedicated-ethanol car would ever be available there.

Any incentives are based on a state by state basis. Illinois was offering tax credits for conversions. Minnesota has a lower tax per gallon. There are no federal incentives. __________________ -Allch Chcar
