Henry Ford was producing ethanol compatible cars, and supplied 25% of the market, until Rockefeller (Standard Oil) had prohibition enacted. Was this the real reason behind the prohibition of alcohol?

I have an e85 car. The ethanol content in the gas here is 10%. Would it be worth distilling my own ethanol to add?

Not unless you rebuild your entire engine to be compatible with high ethanol fuel.

Or swap into a rotary engine with ethanol and water injection

E85 means it can handle 85% ethanol.

I would consider that a high ethanol fuel.

My bad didnt read that right
