<<The other "secret" is the energy level of Ethanol. "Ethanol’s energy content is significantly less than gasoline’s. You need 1.5 gallons of ethanol to drive the same distance you go on a gallon of gasoline." >> Not if you boost the compression ratio of the engine but then you couldn't burn gas. OTOH if you add 10% ethanol to gasoline it will up the power because of the more complete burn. Plus you reduce pollution by 60%. Now why corn? George Washington made corn whiskey so we know how to make ethanol out of corn and have for a long time. Illinois was one of the first states to go with the 90/10 blend back in 1974 and if there's one thing Illinois has, it's corn. You can rest easy, we're both happy now. Because of the jump in corn prices I won't get $4,000 of your money in subsidies payments because the price has risen. Then on my side I'll make $57k more on the grain I'm holding over.
