<<Sorry you have that backwards, ethanol leads to increase emissions and lower gas mileage.>> You must be a city boy living on a coast. Adding 10% ethanol to gasoline burns 60% of the gas that wouldn't normally be burned during combustion. That makes the exhaust cleaner. It also boosts the octane so no lead has to be burned. As far as mileage our electric co-op ran a test, over a million members so it was a large test, the meter readers ran straight gas and then E10. Now this is a rural co-op so they did a lot of driving. The E10 got 3% better mileage than the straight gas did. <<Yes, government is mandating the use of ethanol and subsidizing it as well.>> Mandating it for cleaner air. Subsidizing it? You must be a democrat, not taxing is not subsidizing. Now if you want to subsidize something, with 2 billion bushels more corn in storage than can be used, have the government pay me $150 per acre NOT to grow corn like in the former programs of the 60s.
