the $$ stay in the US of A. And go out of the US Treasury. Ethanol subsidies cost U.S. taxpayers and the economy about $1 billion a year. (edit - 1995) Farmers only get about thirty cents of every dollar spent on ethanol, with the rest going to ethanol producers such as agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland. ncpa.org

<That 10% ethanol causes the gas to burn 60% cleaner than other formulas. Produces 38% more energy than it takes to make it. Stops gas line freeze and cleans fuel injectors. And the $$ stay in the US of A.> This is incorrect. But carefully crafted. The gas/ethanol mixture creates fewer pollutants during warm-up. After warm-up, there is no difference. "Make it." Hmmm, does that include fertilizer, harvesting, transport? How about distillation? No, it does not. More fuel is consumed to create the ethanol than the ethanol replaces. It is a boondoggle for the mid-western states and ADM. There is a reason ADM sponsors every news show and virtually every politician.
