The energy yield of the grade of ethanol being blended with gasoline is very low. All it ends up doing is lowering the efficiency of the gas.
The grade of ethanol that is used in some race cars that prefer to use it as opposed to the more corrosive methanol is much more efficient but costs around $28.00/gallon and doesn't mix well with petroleum based fuels. Methanol does mix well but runs in the $35.00/gallon range.
Methanol is the "cutter" used in top fuel when it's mixed with nitromethane.
