Sorry to disappoint you , that simply isn't true.

An engine optimally designed to burn ethanol (usually with a turbo)
can indeed produce more horsepower on ethanol than it does running on
gasoline but it does that at the expense of burning more gallons of
the ethanol.

What it does mean is that for a given power output the engine can be
smaller if you use ethanol as a fuel instead of gasoline. And that's
why racers like it since smaller = lighter = faster (or simply more
horsepower from the same engine size).



Whoosh.
