re: I see no difference between oil from the middle east or ethanol from South America. It's only geography. I'm not surprised.

Removing the gasoline tax wouldn't do to much to encourage domestic production. It might have a slight effect in that direction, if it increases demand for gasoline and if that additional demand creates and increase in the price of oil, but a lot of that oil will still be from overseas. Which doesn't mean that I opposing (or supporting) removing the tax, or supporting (or opposing) taxing ethanol. Well I suppose I'd remove the ethanol subsidies first and then decide where to go from there.
