What's not to like? Another policy to bribe voters in the corn belt. Obama is intentionally destroying the economy because the result is more people dependent on government which translates into more votes for the Socialist Party.

However, the automobile manufacturer’s are assuredly aware of this argument and are not convinced by it. And because they have spent a lot more time, effort, and money into investigating this issue than I have, I am likely incorrect."Brian, What you are missing is the quid pro quo the auto manufactures want in CAFE standard relief for making more Flex Fuel Vehicles. They are holding FFVs hostage. ” It’s quite possible that the future value of having this alternative (in case biofuels happen to take off) would outweigh the immediate cost of an additional $100 to consumers.

Methanol from natural gas will be the fuel that breaks OPEC, and can create millions of American jobs. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/272685/tripling-america-s-fuel-production-robert-zubrin Apparently the manufacturers oppose this because they currently get a major credit from making ethanol flex fuel cars in complying with the CAFE standards, whether or not the cars actually use ethanol. Maybe the manufacturers need to be bought off with some methanol CAFE standard credit. Ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Open Fuel Standard
