By the way, the mandate has caused the price of ethanol to go through the roof. Last year, it was about $1.50/gallon. This year, it's around $4.00.

Do not worry, the price will go back down as the production increases.

Of course it will.

Meanwhile, it's also worth noting that, since 1980, the price of domestic ethanol is kept artificially high by the federal government's 54¢/gallon tariff on foreign imports.
