Corn ethanol has always been a boondoggle and has been little more than an elaborate farm subsidy program. Without the subsidies watch the price of ethanol/gasoline blends go up and consumers will abandon gasohol.

In favor of...what? All gas has up to 10% ethanol in it by law.

Will straight unleaded gasoline now be available or will it continue with the US buying their ethanol from Brazil?

Abandon?

I never wanted the overpriced reduced performance trash in the first place!

All of my cars are pre-computer, none of them run as well on the gasahol trash.
