Is that in a proper flex-fuel vehicle that can make use of the higher octane, or a basic gas vehicle?

Wrong. Sugar cane and sugar beets (which grow well where sugar cane won't) dont' merely work "as well", they work far better. Also, nearly ANY biomatter (salughterhouse trimmings, compost, whatever) can be used, and IMO much of the waste stream should be used in addition to crops.
As long as I can keep driving internal combustion powered vehicles, I don't really mind how the fuel is made.
