Here's an idea for the politicians and GM
but it can be made much more efficient than gasoline can. Ethanol burns at lower temperatures, thus the cooling system can be smaller. Ethanol is very high octane and can run at very high compression ratios. This allows for a more complete combustion and makes turbo charging and direct injection even more effective than their gasoline counterparts. So, while there may be less energy per gallon of ethanol, we already know how to make the engine get more of that energy out of the fuel.

Burning ethanol releases less "new" carbon than burning dino-fuel.

Is GM bringing Chevy to OZ sooner, rather than later?
Yeah, because naming a truck "Colorado" in Australia makes sense....

Hypothetical
GM went extinct in November of 2011 after CEO PCS ran the company into the iceburg full steam ahead by selling rebadged Tata Nanos as the new Chevy Camaro. SS versions get racing stripes and faux leather shift knobs but maintain their 33hp engines. Cadillac sold off to Honda/Acura who was desperately looking for a premium image. Ford releases an updated version of the Taurus that runs on BS. At the last minute changes the name to Fairmont. Chrysler sold to Electrolux of Sweeden just for laughs*. Volvo merges into Chrysler. Toyota builds best EVAR Camry. Now runs purely on a mixture of engine sludge, recycled camshafts and PR. Honda builds builds most reliable Accord ever. Hybrid now available in a lovely shade of Soylent green. BMW releases new God powered 3-series sporting bold new exterior design and classic interior that harks back to 1993. Fanboys and automotive journalists all die simultaneously from the orgasm. *do your research as to why this would be funny.

More Zeta : Crewman Ute as GMC
the dollars/euros in my pocket? I put my money where my mouth is. I purchase GM vehicles new. I'm not some guy who will only spend $800 on a 1977 land yacht. I intend to buy a diesel CTS when I get to Germany. GM keeps this up and I'll become that guy who only buys GM, but only ones that are 20 years old and the CTS-D will be my last new car from them. We're ultimately the ones with the power. If GM's goal is 12% market share your ideals are certainly the way to do it.
