Boats and a lot of vehicles need normal gas ⛽️ the Ethanol breaks down some of the rubber fuel lines and causes fires under the hood

I would never use it, bad enough with our 10-15% mixture here.
What kind of vehicle would run that?

Any of the GM vehicles with the "Flex Fuel " emblem on the back. I see them on a lot of full size Pickups and SUVs.
That's what Nascar is using now.

it is made from Corn. It is about 10 or 15 years as a public fuel source. I used it in Grand Caravans and it lasted about 2/3 as long as gasoline. Its BTU rating is different than Gasoline. Super Unleaded or Ethanol Free fuel will go quite a bit further on a tank than the Alcohol based fuel. I was saying many years ago if high fructose corn syrup is s bad use it to make fuel.
Alcohol octane is very stable. Gasoline not so stable. difference between two drops of standard gasoline can vary a lot. When you see 92 Octane that is the minimum average of the fuel
Alcohol is much more consistent that is why its used in racing.
Nitro Methane is blended with alcohol too for same reason. Nitro has oxygen in the liquid fuel but when it burns the fumes are toxic.

Electronic Fuel Injection adjusts for it. Special Label on back of car. Look for on cars and now you will see the emblems. Now the Electric cars are getting all the attention. Flex Fuel was a thing to supposedly reduce our dependence on foreign oil. It has gone to back burner because electric cars have gotten popular.

Big oil had a lot to do with that lmfao. What was the first year that had fuel injection. Back in the 50's. Why did it take so long for all the car an trucks to have fuel injection. BIG OIL

Its because big oil prevents it , in the 1950ish someone figured out how to use hydrogen(water) to propel a vehicle, he was never heard from again I believe they said he got lost in the desert in southwest, things that make you go hmmmmmmm
