This I doubt, but at least gasahol will now be a stabilizing product rather than one that drives up the price of transportation.

Not true. Since alcohol production always uses more fossil fuel (diesel) energy than you get back from the alcohol, then there will never be a price point where alcohol will cost less. see See Pimentel

I read somewhere that ethanol production had the government subsidizing corn producers...and if it takes so much fossil fuel to produce ethanol, of what benefit is it?

I can't argue that. You may be right. I still doubt it will hit $3.00 per gallon. It wii peak somewhere as we approach Memorial Day likely below $3.00 then recede, that is unless things are different today than at any time in the history of automobiles.

Alcohol seems more corporate welfare than an energy solution. Biodeisel, however, comes into play at about $2.40 under mass production.
