I really know nothing about ethanol other than it’s 10% at the pumps and I run ethanol free gas in my small engines.

E15 - I am reading is lower cost than E0.

Is the true cost of making ethanol lower than gasoline or do government subsidies make the cost of ethanol lower?

Where does the ethanol blend max out?

If ever we were to run out of oil, could ethanol replace it all in gas and diesel engines?

One of these days we are going to run out of oil. Not sure electric cars are the answer. Is 100% ethanol - all engines, gas diesel possible?
