There are flocks of people about 30 miles south of my location who 
would quickly take issue with that statement.   They pay for some 
pretty serious pickup trucks and real property with profits made from 
corn alcohol.

Roanoke VA is about 30 miles north of the heart of Franklin County 
VA, the moonshine capital of America.

And yes, the stuff *will* burn if you light it.   It also will thin 
shellac nicely and remove some brands of fingernail polish, according 
to my sister.     I've not tried any of the stuff in motor fuels though.
