Is it more efficient (and/or easier) to make ethanol to fuel an internal combustion engine, or instead to burn the fuel you would have used to distil the ethanol to fuel an external combustion engine? (i.e. a steam engine.)

Ethanol wins. You can use ethanol to make more ethanol. Its a positive yield. Has been for years.
