Question

Where can i find e100 100% ethanol fuel in illinois?

Answer 1

Cars can't run on e100

Answer 2

LOL! Ethanol takes up 25% more energy than it produces, and it is causing the food shortages. Farmers find it more profitable to make Ethanol than food.

Boycott that c**p.

<edit> Jeff.. You dont find Ethanol in liquor. You find Methanol in liquor. Get your facts straight.

Answer 3

They only sell E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) at the gas pumps.

To get pure ethanol, you'll have to go to a liquor store.

Answer 4

70 and Dr. Jello are both wrong.  First, liquor contains ethanol, not methanol.  Methanol is wood alcohol and it will kill you if you drink it.  Secondly, cars CAN run on E100 and already do.  The indy car race series converted to pure E100 (100% ethanol) in their cars last year.  ALL indy race cars burn E100 all the time.  The drivers like it better because it delivers 15% more horsepower than gasoline and keeps their engines about 500 degrees cooler.

And ethanol does not use 25% more energy than it creates. One big myth is that more fossil fuels are used to make ethanol than the energy it yields.  This is dead wrong.  Ethanol is now being made with almost an infinitely positive net yield via wind power and combustion of waste biomass from the beef industry.  Ethanol is being produced with ZERO fossil fuels used in the process.  Read that again---ZERO FOSSIL FUELS are being used to make ethanol.  Here are the links to prove it:

A common misconception of the ethanol industry is that it takes more energy to make ethanol than is available to the final consumer. Remember, ethanol is produced from plant matter, today dominated by corn, wheat, potatoes, sorgum, etc. Plants grow through the use of energy provided by the sun and are a renewable resources. In the future, ethanol will be produced from waste products or "energy crops." In fact, a partner of the NEVC, BC International (BCI), is currently constructing an ethanol production plant in Louisiana that will use sugar cane waste to produce ethanol. Additionally, BCI is considering the establishment of ethanol production facilities in California that would use the waste hulls from rice growers and wood waste from the forrest industry to produce ethanol. Energy crops such as perennial switch grasses, timothy, and other high-output/low-input crops will be used in the future.

Current research prepared by Argonne National Laboratory (a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory), indicates a 38% gain in the overall energy input/output equation for the corn-to-ethanol process. That is, if 100 BTUs of energy is used to plant corn, harvest the crop, transport it, etc., 138 BTUs of energy is available in the fuel ethanol. Corn yields and processing technologies have improved significantly over the past 20 years and they continue to do so, making ethanol production less and less energy intensive.
