When corn production involves four passes through the field by internal compustion fuel driven vehicles, plus a visit to the energy using processing plant and government help in the growing and processing steps, it isn't a benefit to energy savings either. Not to mention it is not capable of producing the same amount of btu's per gallon as gasoline.
