i think this is more to satisfy the people complaining than to actually impact emissions or make our fossil fuel supply last longer. running an engine on alcohol takes twice as much fuel as running an engine on gasoline so in theory you'll be getting very slightly less km per tank. and most of the good gas stations already have ethanol in their gas anyway whether they tell you or not. look at sonoco's ultra 94 for example, i think it says "up to 10% ethanol" right on the pump.

if they want to get serious about this they would phase out gasoline engines by 2020 and only be using biodiesel as fuel since its 100% organic and the diesel engines we have now can run perfectly fine off of it.

my two pennies.
