don't know about you, but i'm morally opposed to burning food (corn flour) in car engines. especially when the efficiency is something like one pound of corn flour per mile travelled.

If you research e85, you will find out it's a complete exploitation. Other South Amercian Countries are doing it correctly. The US, Not so much. My father owns an agriculture business in IOWA, (graing bins ie. storage) Business is incredible, but the after shock of the price of corn, and consumption of available corn to create ethanol is going to crash, and the only winners are politicians, and a few lucky farmers.

Farming in America is subsidized by the Government. Research the subject of E85 in America abroad, who is being paid to farm it, The companies making ethanol, and on another note, look at the effeciency of E85. Look into how much corn it takes to make a usable gallon of ethanol, let alone the money into growing corn. Tractors farm corn, they don't run on Ethanol, nor do the semi tractors that drive the corn to the Ethanol plants, or the Ethanol delivery trucks. Corn is also globally traded and America is one of the biggest players, Ethanol consumption is driving the price up to record high's per bushel, and E85 isn't even in widespread use yet. I prefer not to sway anyone rather I recommend if you are interested in E85, that you research it for yourself and come up with your own conclusions as how our government is implementing it's manufacture and useage.
