If it was economically sound to put corn in the tank, it would happen without government mandates and subsidies.
'nuff said.

I did a major paper in college on ethanol, when it was in its infancy (known as gasohol).It was awarded tax relief to give it a chance to overcome it’s deficiencies, develop it and make it economically viable. Imagine my surprise almost 25 years later when it had not overcome its deficiencies and had not proven to be economically viable, yet the federal government MANDATED its use!
