The reason why it came back is because of the MTBE and the ill effects it causes. As for locally around here, I can remember buying 10% ethanol fuel for as long as I've been legally driving, which is going on 18 years now.

I think it has more to do with the tree hugging hippies that won't let us drill on our own damn soil.
As for "what's next?" it won't be methanol. Most likely hydrogen. And BMW's finding out that converting a gasoline engine to hydrogen is pretty easy, and the only waste product of burning hydrogen is water, pure, drinkable water. And since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, my money's on that being the fuel of the future. Not quite sure how I'm going to adapt the Packard to run in it though...
