If you read the article it will tell you that ethanol is not the total cause of the increase.

However, some farm groups feel that food costs are up 15 to 20% due to biofuels.

I don’t care, the sooner they get that crap out of my tank the better.

Thanks, I did read the article. Ethanol doesn’t have anything to do with the increase — food prices in particular have been driven up by the price of petroleum. Even the price of ethanol has been driven up by the price of petroleum.

Well, they "feel" wrong. It has zero impact. And that "crap" is good for your gas tank, good for your engine, and good for the air. So the more they put in your tank, the better.

Plus it will be GOOD for agriculture, and GOOD for the taxpayer when farm subsidies are stopped. it's GOOD for manufacturing because when things are GOOD for farmers, it's GOOD for machinery manufacturers, which in turn is GOOD for employment.

It's Also GOOD that the developing ethanol/ biofuels industries are creating GOOD, permanent jobs, and it's GOOD all the money spent stays in America, as does all the money spent on that GOOD fuel.
