“people who against biofuels,

Welcome to FR. This has been covered before, but for the sake of lurkers...

You are WRONG. Arabs and oil companies LOVE ethanal mandates. For every gallon of ethanol we burn we burn about a gallon and a half of oil. Most of that oil is burned to boil the corn mash to distil out the whiskey/ethanol. The rest is burned in production of corn, tranportation, and lost efficiency in our cars.
And who pays for all the extra oil to burn boiling down the corn mash? That’s where the subsidies come in. Fedzilla out of control. Think it’s just coicidence that the price of fuel has gone up hand in hand with the mandated use of ethanol? Nope.
Big oil loves ethanol.

I don’t like which one am I? I don’t like them because they are costly to produce and create problems in the machines that use them.Also it causes gasoline engines to get less fuel milage, not more.

Take ethylnol for instance, it takes mor btu’s to produce it than the use of it gives. It takes vast amonts of corn production out of the food supply

Whatever makes you think that oil companies are in favor bio-fuels?

Can you come up with one logical reason why oil compabies would favor bio-fuels?

Archer-Daniels-Midland, yes. Exxon, no.
