There's less energy in a unit of ethanol compared to a unit gasoline, no additive can change that!
In Brazil most of the cars run on straight ethanol made out of sugar cane. We can import their ethanol for $0.50 but the government makes it impossible by putting high tariffs on it.
Sugar cane is a mucu better product to make ethanol out of cause it costs a lot less to grow, but ethanol plants in the US are not equipped to handle it.
