Because until recently, butanol was more expensive to produce that Ethanol. Furthermore, until recently, it was produced from petroleum.
Only now have we been able to cheaply produce it from bio material at a cost that is on par with or less than ethanol. The next main test is to see if it can be scaled...which is what a few people are doing.
