Not to mention, quit turning food into fuel. In Brasil, they created separate farms to grow the sugar cane for their ethanol production, they did not turn existing food crops into that. We should learn if we want to use ethanol.

They burned off rainforest to clear land to grow fuel crops. All in the name of reducing carbon footprints. Insanity.

We don't want to use ethanol. I get 10% less MPG with 10% ethanol fuel. Ethanol is a lousy fuel, besides it takes a gallon of fossil fuel to produce one gallon of ethanol.
