Is because if it was E100 it would be drinkable (pure vodka or your favourite alcohol 200 proof almost!).

So the lobby of the beverage maker made sure it is poisonned with noxious gasoline.

I suspect when they have to make E100 because of lack of cheap gasoline, they will make sure some methanol is included.

For now even 1% of gasoline can make everything poisonous.

Of course some idiots will always manage to drink that stuff...

At $3 a gallon, that would sure give the liquor industry a run.

My brother in law gave me a bottle of backwoods Mississippi home made once, and after the first sip I didn't again notice how much bite it had; matter of fact, I don't remember noticing anything till I woke up after noon the next day.

If e100 were on the market, just think of the fuel shortage that would ensue, not to mention the shortage of charred oak barrels.

I'd hope a lot fewer people would be driving, too...

Does pure ethanol also suffer from poor ignition in cooler weathers? I was thinking that's a major part as well.

[mekrob]

About the pure ethanol and drinking it, even in Brazil where the content is much higher, they still add impurities so you can't drink it. It seems a little ridiculous to say that moisture is the reason it isn't used. Then all you have is slightly watered down 200-proof alcohol. Would that really stop you from getting it for a few bucks a gallon?

Most of the ethanol we(the US) produce is close to 100%.

We don't use E100 because at the federal level, the 51 cent a gallon subsidy is not for the production of ethanol, but for blending.

I imagine a lot of Americans think the federal subsidy is
to the farmers or producers, but it's not. It's the blenders and
that subsidy indirectly supports corn and ethanol production.

Constructing an ethanol still tops my list of PO to-dos.

If you are interested, you better do it now. The materials to do it will not be available or be extremely expensive post-peak (Copper, TIG welding).
