Here's the thing:
Ethanol has less energy per gallon than gasoline and diesel, so for a given power output an engine will use more ethanol than it would have used diesel or gasoline. Miles per gallon will be poorer.
But that's not the whole story.
Ethanol - being considered more eco-friendly - is often a lot less expensive than diesel and gasoline. So even if you're using more of it, the cost-per-mile can be lower than for gasoline or diesel.

Can you run your 1997 Range Rover on Ethanol?
if it is a petrol (gasoline) engine, the answer is yes. I am running my 4.6L V8 on 50% ethanol, with no engine or injection modification, no difference in starting, power and fuel economy. On the long run, if you use more than 50% it may damage rubber in the fuel pump and seals. After you start using ethanol, change the fuel filter as etahnol will clean and detach all previous residues in the tank and fuel lines.
