DOn't know the answer to the subsidy question, but do know that they aren't the only one to carry it....If supply and demand are the issues....They're having a bit of problem keeping up with the demand....BTW the same station was the first to offer lead free gasoline....It's everywhere now, but IIRC it was initially subsidized.

There was a very informative article in our local paper, but that was last year. If you are interested I'm sure the Soy bean farmers have material on the intrenet.

Well, thanks for the kind pointer; I don't know what I would do without the 'directions' to more info.

My real concern, though, is the demonstrated lack of the economics of the whole 'fuel' issue. SO MUCH of what is seen, taken for granted at the 'pump' for so-called alternative fuels is not reflective of reality, not reflective of the actual coasts owing to subsides.

I think those who have hunted in search of the elusive 100 MPG carburetor years ago would have stumbled onto 'cheap/nearly free' fuels by now if your earlier contentions were reality ...

Diesel gas? Do you mean diesel fuel, the type used by diesel trucks? Or is this some new kind of fuel?
