Why ethanol-blended (E10) petrol is a good thing

William J. Wells explains why ethanol-blended petrol is a good thing - On Line Opinion:
by William Wells -- 5/3/2003
The Australian press for the past few months has printed many articles about low-percentage blends of ethanol and petrol. The public has been left with the feeling that something is 'wrong' with these fuels, and that the parties promoting ethanol in fuel are trying to foist something on an unsuspecting public that is somehow bad for them.
This article seeks to lay out the truth about ethanol, and as well tell the rest of the story: that it is fuels without ethanol that should give us cause for concern, because of the levels of toxic chemicals that they contain or emit during incomplete combustion.
