If they mixed water instead of ethanol, it wouldn't burn at all. Then they could eliminate all emissions.
If you factor in the emissions from making the ethanol and the reduced mileage (and the increased cost of corn products due to all that corn being turned into ethanol), I too cannot see how we benefit from E10 (or E85 for that matter).
