I would suggest mixing ethanol with petrol, you can do untold damage to the injectors due to vew low lubricity and viscosity.

Spark ignition cars designed for Biofuels have different injector seals etc.

Also, raw ethanol is subject to Customs and Excise Duty.

Having siad that, if this stupid bloody government would wake up and start dealing with environmental issues properly rather than as a cash cow we might get more interest from the public.
