The only problem is, it actually takes more more energy to make corn-based ethanol than the amount of energy you can get from it.

Also, ethanol is only added in small amounts to petroleum (like E-10 that's got 10% ethanol, available at most pumps today). But, there's alternative like E80 (80% ethanol) or 100% ethanol, but they arent practical.
