Good point about not using Adobe.

The PDF went into great detail about various subsidies for all forms of energy, including petroleum.

My point in posting it was to establish that gasoline is heavily subsidized. I used the figure of three times the rate of ethanol. That got some reaction debating the percentage, as I expected.

Another Freeper pointed out that stabilizing the Middle East is also a form of petroleum subsidy. By including that in the percentages, the subsidy percentage for gasoline to ethanol goes way up. How much? I dont know, but certainly by a huge amount. Add in the fact that we have for years now been spending around one billion dollars a day to import oil from our enemies and we can see that Made in America ethanol suddenly becomes much cheaper in comparison to petroleum

Petroleum is effective. What do you claim the subsidies are on one gallon of gas?
