Perhaps most surprising, information technology, the great electronic promise of the 1990s, has turned into one of the biggest job-growth disappointments of all time. Despite the splashy success of companies such as Google (GOOG ) and Yahoo! (YHOO ), businesses at the core of the information economy -- software, semiconductors, telecom, and the whole gamut of Web companies -- have lost more than 1.1 million jobs in the past five years. Those businesses employ fewer Americans today than they did in 1998, when the Internet frenzy kicked into high gear.

No surprise here on that. Of interest, we have talked about e-85 ethanol, and I have mentioned from the gitgo just how much less energy there is in a gallon vs regular gasoline.

Consumer Reports has, in the current issue, on the cover,
The ethanol myth

Seems their test vehicle, a Tahoe, would do 14 mpg on regular,

10 mpg on the much-hyped e-85.
