It is actually far worse than that. Without distillation, the best
you can do is 97% ethanol, with 3% water, which makes it
unacceptable as fuel. So you have to distill it to get rid of the 3%
water.

97% is the best you can do with distilation! EtOH and water for an
azeotrope. To get better you must use a dehydrating agent, and H2SO4
is not a good one for this
