Last summer their pumps had the contains 10% ethanol sticker. This will be a welcome addition to the lake this summer.

I don't expect the price to be cheaper as ethanol is subsidized by the govt. and currently almost $1 a gallon cheaper than gas. Ethanol is the most inefficient fuel to burn as it cost more to produce ethanol than gas. Most of our ethanol comes from Brazil. I thought the whole idea of ethanol was to be independent of fuel from foreign countries? Ecologically ethanol is a disaster as Brazil is clear cutting the rain forest for ethanol production.
Pretty soon when we go to the pump we might be saying: "Fill it up with rain forest please".

Brazil produces surgar cane ethanol, and the US produces corn ethanol. The US is the number one producer of ethanol and Brazil is second.

As far as how much each country imports and exports is something that I don't think you will find an answer to right now, I couldn't anyway.
