Alcohol contains less energy per unit than gasoline. You have to use considerably more of it (as in "tons" more), this negates some of the savings. And, alcohol fuel systems need drained and cleaned when not in use since they tend to accumlate water and nasty gunk. So, flushing the tank every week or so would cut into those savings. And, alcohol is hard on lines and fittings and causes them to have a very different (short?) lifespan. This is all off the top of my head (since I left Jegs years ago, I haven't had to field alcohol questions these days), but I think I'll stick to gasoline.
