Ethenol fuel the con.

[trbo 6]

There are pros and cons in using ethanol based fuels, but saying the fuel is rubbish is wrong!

Corrosive – Yes ethanol is corrosive, but so is unleaded. Fuel companies are required to use corrosion inhibitors in both fuels.

Forests will be replaced with ethanol crops – you seriously think they will knock down forests with ethanol crops? Even if they did, the plants that replaced the trees would still produce oxygen, so we would still have air to breath.

hygroscopic – it will absorb a small amount water from the air in an open container over a long period, but in a fuel tank vapors are created which allow only minimal air into the tank and therefore only a minute amount of water absorbed into the fuel over a long period of time.

Fuel consumption – You will definitely use more fuel with any mix of ethanol, but we are using a renewable source of fuel and as technology gets better in producing this fuel we will be able to create the fuel from just about any waste vegetation. So until we can start growing oil, ethanol sounds like a pretty good alternative.
