it is very expensive to setup a car for alchohol you need twice the amount of fuel injectors and fuel flow for alchohol vs gas.... people tend to break more with alchohol too. most people stick to gas.... its alot easier

Doesn't Alchohol corrode the engine faster also? I herd from someone that it does that.

Cause after you run the car you have to clean everything so it wont corrode.
