You folks need to do a little more research. Straight ethanol may be a long ways off, but dual fuel autos (E85 for instance) are out there now and "around the corner" for mass production. 2007's dual fuel vehicles:
4.6L Ford Crown Victoria (2-valve, excluding taxi and police units)
5.4L Ford F-150
4.6L Lincoln Town Car (2-valve)
4.6L Mercury Grand Marquis
4.7L Dodge Durango
4.7L Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Series
4.7L Chrysler Aspen
4.7L Jeep Commander
4.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee
4.7L Dodge Dakota
3.3L Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan and Caravan Cargo
2.7L Chrysler Sebring Sedan
Now, combine that with your hybrids and you would get an even bigger boost to your "enviro-friendliness".
As to the note about it taking more diesel to farm and produce...I'm sure bio diesel could replace said diesel in whole or at the very least partially as easy as it can in any diesel vehicle.
Personally I still think Bio-Diesel is the most viable alternative out there as it takes little to no change in the currently produced automobiles. Combine the natural fuel efficiency of a diesel, subtract out the pesky problem of disposing of all of those damn batteries when they start to go south and it seems like a hell of a better option to me.
