Because it's more expensive, it's required half the year here in AZ, and 
prices go up because of the more expensive mixture... If you wanted to run 
pure ethanol, it is more expensive than processed gas is...  Okay, was more 
expensive up until earlier this year it seems (just looked at some pricing 
indexes to make sure).. the rise in gas, and lowering of ethanol has changed 
things up it looks like..

On the flip side, what about meeting current fuel demands, which is obviously 
not there currently.  Also, it's my understanding that the milage you will get 
out of even a higher alcohol/ethanol mix is much lower than gasoline, which 
means a greater cost per mile than gas, even with the newer pricing.
