I am since 1994 ADAC member and have now written the following email to the ADAC:
Because bioethanol vast agricultural areas, the London Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) the meaning of biofuel in question. 2020 would have to be cultivated for its global production up to 69 000 square kilometers of arable land for growing raw materials, an area twice as large as Belgium.
This will contribute to significant price increases in food lead and lead many countries to more starvation. to produce
a liter of bioethanol would be 4,000 liters of water needed, says Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Lethmate and sees rising food prices, the perverse result of high biofuel subsidies, as the writes Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
as ADAC Please do everything to stop this madness. The resulting costs
should take the politicians who voted for E10.
the way we are writing the drivers, no manufacturer warranty, take damage to the car.

more information about E10:
Will Germany, the EU targets to achieve with specially grown biomass, would have 27 percent of all German farmland provide for, the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) is calculated. Currently there are five percent.
... ..
addition, the cultivation of energy crops, according BUND anything but environmentally friendly - especially is used much nitrogen fertilizer, which leads to increased nitrous oxide and methane levels in the atmosphere . These gases are more harmful to the climate than carbon dioxide. If one were to use less nitrogen fertilizer, however, would back the return. Then again you would need more acreage to offset the revenue loss.
If the U.S. this year 138 million tonnes of maize for Biofuel use, lack this amount for food production and intensified the struggle for land. This means that not only is the price of corn in the air, but also those for soybean and wheat . Agricultural land is a scarce resource. Similarly, water that threatens us go out. To produce 1 liter of ethanol, you need 4000 liters of water! Water is the bigger problem than CO2 emissions. We tap today not only have the renewable, but also the reserves of fossil water.
... ..
why it is irresponsible and morally unacceptable that you pay huge subsidies to food from to make biofuel. If you want to cover 20% of the increase in oil demand with biofuels, as is planned, then there's nothing more to eat. This is political insanity.
"NZZ": subsidized extravagance: 4,000 liters of water for 1 liter of bioethanol

Predominantly from wheat and sugar beet won
Where does the ethanol? It is in Germany mainly from wheat and sugar beet produced in Brazil from sugar cane and in the United States from corn. Because consumption for production of bioethanol vast agricultural areas, the London Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) the meaning of biofuel in question. 2020 would have to be cultivated for its global production up to 69 000 square kilometers of arable land for growing raw materials, an area twice as large as Belgium. The fact, the IEEP study would be 56 million tons of carbon dioxide generated in addition. This is considerably more than the refueling would save by biofuel. The Association of German Biofuel Industry (VDB) criticizes the IEEP, the study was not scientifically provable and environmental organizations paid to reject the use of biofuels in principle.
What is the impact of bioethanol addition? The new biogasoline should be at least 35 percent of CO2, which is doubted by many scientists. They point out that requires considerable amounts of external energy for transport and distribution and are due to the lower energy density of ethanol, the fuel consumption - and hence CO2 emissions - rising. is still completely unclear what effect the changed incorporation on the chemical composition of the gases. For example, reported the ARD magazine "Fact" on 6 December that scientists highly toxic compounds such as hydrocyanic acid and ozone were found. In an opinion by the Federal Environment Ministry, the fact editors hoped in vain. " particularly aluminum components can be affected after a single tank, the damage is progressive. "The ZDK warns," must be on valves and valve seat inserts expected to wear out because of the corrosive effects of ethanol. Pure ethanol can be detached from rubber and plastics, such as PVC, the plasticizers, thus the components concerned leaky and brittle
