I was up in Iowa a couple months ago and they were selling regular for $2.30 a gallon and E85 for $1.92 a gallon. If it cost more to produce why is it selling for less? Lamoni, Iowa to be exact, 1st town north on I35 across Missouri border.

I thought ethanol had about a 50 cent per gallon subsidy. And that it took 30% more ethanol to get the same mileage as a gallon of gas.

Try a $.52 a gallon federal tax credit. I'm not sure about Iowa but Minnesota gives a $.20 a gallon subsidy. And in Minnesota they "donated" $212 million for plant construction. Heck with no overhead you can charge alot less.

The State of Iowa offers a $.025 tax credit for every gallon of ethanol or ethanol added gasoline for gas stations in Iowa.
