i'll start with the desired answer first: around here (dc metro area) some gas stations have notices on their pumps saying that the fuel is up to 10% ethanol. i haven't seen any gas stations with anything more than that.
now for the answer i want to give:
hydrocarbons are organic molecules (carbon based). gasoline is derived from petroleum which is formed from decaying plants and animals. exactly how much more organic can you be?
if you mean ethanol, consider where the ethanol comes from. corn (probably). how is the corn grown? with fertilizers, fertilizers which require considerable energy input to make (particularly if they're man-made and not manure). how is the corn transported to the ethanol plant? how is the ethanol transported to the gas station? sadly, all of these use fossile fuels as well.
