The humorous part now is that wholesale gasoline is cheaper than wholesale ethanol.
E85 is more expensive than E10.
Precisely. This is a fascinating study in the most basic economics of all, because the product goes directly from the grower to the consumer. The next piece of this is distribution. Will the big beer distributors step in? Anheuser-Busch did with respect to craft breweries it doesn't even own. The tobacco companies? Maybe, if they have any capital left after the tort attorneys got done with them.
I stopped smoking the stuff decades ago - got too busy - so I really don't have a horse in this race, but I sure love spectating.
Pure gasoline still costs considerably MORE than ten percent ethanol at the pump here.
