Yes. . . but you might eat corn.

So what if a can of corn costs 49 cents instead of 39 cents? I might eat 2 cans a month.

thats 10 cents more! 12 x 10 = 1.20!! you could buy ANOTHER 3 cans of corn if the price was still at 39 cents!! multiply that by your lifespan and thats.... enough to buy you a couple tanks of gas for your S!!!

Not if it's running on my feces. . . in which case, I'd have stop eating canned kernel corn (could clog up the intakes).

Couldn't we switch to a different source of Ethanol?

Making it from sugar cane is more efficient, it eliminates a step that has to be done using corn. I wonder if it would work using sugar beets?
