According to Wikipedia, the energy balance of ethanol in my country is 8 or more, so it would be more like getting a crisp new $100 bill and turning it into eight $100 bills.

I'm guessing this is someplace that sugar cane can grow? The EROI from corn ethanol is much, much worse. Ethanol does make a lot of sense for, say, Brazil, but not much sense for the US.
