 As I understand it the ethanol was originally used to raise the octane 
 level of the combustible mixture in the chamber. Its latent heat and easy 
 vaporization were also added benefits.

 I always thought the "ideal" fuel to be hydrogen for pretty much the same 
 reasons you mentioned. It does have many of the same drawbacks but you 
 won't find a much cleaner burning fuel. <g>
