I Don’t Know What I’ve Been Told, But Ethanol Ain’t That Bad Afterall…
Sometimes you just don’t know what to believe. When you watch the news, you learn that ethanol production is driving up the cost of grain, and making our fuel cost more. But then I read articles like The Case for Ethanol, and I look at this site he was linking to: http://www.drivingethanol.org/, and I see that actually, the price for Ethanol is LOWER than the price of gas, and I have to wonder…
Maybe there IS something good about it.
A year ago, paying $3.24 for gas would have seemed too high, but right now I’d take it. And that’s the price for Ethanol right now. Maybe we should get into this.
Have you hugged a farmer lately?

I agree. Let’s do some basic economics here. You have supply (amount of available fuel) and you have demand, the number of people/governments needing that fuel. The oil companies are saying prices are high because there is limited supply. Ethanol is currently being mixed into your fuel to give us more supply. Now remove the ethanol and you have less (blended) fuel. If you said “What are, Prices go even higher Alex,” you are correct!
