Good idea, but it was a matter of first things first. Let's face it. We had mountains of corn...literally. We've been shipping it out of the country in the billions of bushels for decades to feed other country's hogs. Selling it for a pittance, and having to heavily subidize farmers because of it.

Better to add value to it at home, which is what we're doing.

[chuckles]

Agreed, but look at the size of the problem and corn won't do it by itself. The farmers will get rich anyway you work this. We need the ethanol yesterday however. It will take decades to work ethanol all across the US at this pace. Remember in '75 the gubmint required a no lead pump at every station? We need the same commitment now or the ethanol will dry up because nobody but the mid west can get it. If I knew I could get E85 all across the country, I would convert my own engine to burn it right now. I would raise the compression ratio and do other things to increase the efficiency of the engine. I could get greater fuel mileage than I get on gas by doing so with more power.
Having a duel fuel arrangement just gets you less economy per gallon of ethanol because the engine is just a gas engine that will burn ethanol.
