Ethanol, where's the big bucks?
 
I cut this from the link below.
A gallon of ethanol is about 40 to 45 cents cheaper than a gallon of gasoline in the region, which translates to several pennies cheaper at the pump.

OK. It's 40 to 45 cents cheaper and we only get a few pennies at pump! Where's the flappin money??? OH I see it goes to members of the bush pioneers who donated more than $200k. And have their stock in a blind trust, while passing laws to benefit the same stock.
Read the page.
Also all companys jumped on corn price to raise prices, I'm not wondering if they'll roll back next year when you can't give corn away.

No savings for you.
Save a few pennies at the pump and reduce your mileage by 3 or 4 %.
Oh, and your taxes subsidized growing the corn and making the ethanol.

The October edition of National Geographic has a great cover story of the current status of ethanol, etc.
