    …However, for those who are bright intelligant tree huggers can at present purchase an alternate fuel vehicle such as one that burns E85 fuel. By so doing, they will free this nation from those pesky Mideastern Fuel Czars crippling our economy. There is a slight problem at present however that I am sure someone in our government will solve. Not much availability of E85 fuel, Insuffiecent Corn for food and/or fuel, and finally E85 fueled vehicles cost more at the pump to purchase a gallon of fuel as well as the mileage per gallon decreases about 20 = 25%. Oh, did I mention that the price of feed corn as well as food corn products has now doubled. Affecting all of us both at the pump and the grocery store. But hey! the Farmers are sure tickled about it.

    And I am given to understand that most ethanol production results in more petroleum-based fuel being consumed to produce the ethanol than what is later replaced by burning the ethanol in place of petroleum-based fuel.
