Don't meant to be rude, but can you post the entire question? Answer can vary drastically with different wording of the question.

eerr distribution?
as far as i know petroleum is refined from crude oil and then distributed as leaded/unleaded petrol
whereas fuel made from ethanol is more commonly seen in the form of lpg

other than that i dont think i can help you

U can start by discussing the comparative heats of combustion. Then explaining the different processes in the manufacture of both fuels. U can also assess the environmental impacts of each fuel. Then compare all this in detail. go to conquering chemistry for the use of ethanol as a fuel. it will give u enough detail to discuss.
