Driftwood Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:27:30 +0000 http://www.globalwarming.org/?p=10307#comment-61558 I am mostly ignorant about all of the financial and economic end of all of this. And I am nobody's genius when it comes to the supposed benefits of ethanol. But I have been able to come to a few of my own conclusions. One - ethanol increased the price of filling my tank. Two - since these corn growers are being subsidized they are VERY much in favor of ethanol. Three - (and this is what I just got from my wife) the price of fresh corn at the super market has skyrocketed just in the past year. And now they want to increase the percentage of ethanol from 10% to 15% of the volume of gas at the pump. And after reading a lot of stuff about ethanol, I STILL don't know the benefit of putting it in my gas tank. Does it increase my mileage? If I knew conclusively that it increased my mileage enough to offset the increase in price I might have a more positive attitude about it. I would appreciate someone far more knowledgeable than me to help me out on this. Thank You. I am mostly ignorant about all of the financial and economic end of all of this.
