The use of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) as an additive to gasoline to absorb water has been going on for decades. The article is full of bad science. That being said, ethanol does not have near the energy in it that gasoline does. Therefore its use (in gasoline) will result in poorer performance and mileage.

Almost pure ethanol works in race cars because the engines are adjusted (higher compression) to take advantage of ethanol's higher octane rating.

Remember, two pound chickens cannot lay three pound eggs.
