There is a common misconception that because Brazil is "energy independent" it uses exclusively ethanol in its cars. This is not true. Relatively few cars in Brazil run on "gasohol". Brazil is energy independent because it has a huge, state-run oil company and exports more oil than it uses.
By the same standard, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela are all "energy independent".

Ethanol Eco-Disaster

Peak Oil?
