Answer 2

the main problem with ethanol fuel is the production of ethanol requires a lot of fertilisers which at this time are produced from oil

In the US we use corn based ethanol.  Sugar based is better but we don't have the climate to grow that much sugar cane for our needs.  Its also government funded which is the only reason it costs less than gasoline.

Answer 4

well e 85 would be something great to use but since its made with corn primarily in the USA it is a problem because corn is used to feed livestock people and for biofuels

this means that there is a high demand and the corn would be too expensive to use in making e 85 in mass production
