Please provide the details you have on how corn farmers are being 'propped up'.

Why would Yogurt go up because of corn prices? It's not made from corn. And dairy farmers that use corn for silage grow their own, so they aren't paying commodity prices for it. Corn didn't suddenly cost more to grow than it did last year. Only the price of fuel and fertilizer to grow ANY crop has gone up, and fuel is the # one major input cost of farming. Your fuel millage will decrease, but your car should run well, ("crud" free too) If your car is older, the fuel system cannot adjust to burning high ethanol blends. Burn 20% or less, OR take it in and have it fixed for burning high ratio blends of ethanol. If ethanol were cheaper than gas, then the lower millage problem shouldn't matter. I'd burn it instead of gas if it worked out to the same cost. eventually gas will cost more than ethanol, it's only a matter of time.

I expect its pretty hard on the fuel pump and injectors as well.
