That's another thing indeed.
Of course, there are two ways in which you can look at a gasoline that has ethanol added:
1) as watered down gasoline - instead of strictly carbon and hydrogen, now H2O is added in the form of ethanol, or
2) as partially burned gasoline - instead of strictly carbon and hydrogen, now oxygen is added i.e. it is partially burned.
Take your pick. Again,
And here is some interesting reading about the pollution caused by ethanol plants:
