Today Brazil clocked on more than 5 million cars driving with flex engines. Most car manufacturers have a local plant in Brazil. I explained already why. Most of these cars are produced with flex engines, which run both on ethanol and gasoline. People like having a backup of gasoline; in some rare remote places, they don't have ethanol pumps. But in most states all the pumps have both ethanol and gasoline. I drove for two years with a Peugeot with flex engine; a big pleasure, especially for your wallet. Contrary to the US, the Brazilian government doesn't subsidize the production of ethanol though. The production of the Brazilian ethanol from sugarcane has a much positiver yield than the yield from mais in the US, and much more productive than the production of biodiesel from poppyseed flowers in Europe. The latter even has a net negative energy yield. Only in Europe.
PS 1,69 R$ = 0,62 € per liter ethanol alcool. The price of a liter of gasoline is currently 0,917 € in Brazil.
