re: More importantly the higher demand for ethanol has pushed up the price for ethanol in the US. If we eliminated the 50 cent per gallon import duty we would go a long way towards making ethanol more available and competitive. I don't believe we have an import duty on oil. If so, that would be telling of where the gov't's priorities are.
