    Yeah i know. In rocketry V-2 for example was running on ethanol/water mix with liquid oxygen as oxidiser. And experiments with ethanol based fuel for other kind of engines too never stopped entirely, though the results are rather underwhelming, at least for mass usage.

      Modern gasoline is roughly 10-15% ethanol in order to prevent thermal damage to engine parts and to support performance in cold climates.
