so what?
I would gladly fill-up every 200 miles, (instead of 300)

to cut the ragheads out of the deal

for the record, because of current pricing, E85 is not a good deal, however, that could change

In the rural mid-west, the price differential between ethanol and gasoline can be striking. I filled my Silverado Friday for $199.9 per gallon of ethanol (105 octane) at a station where gasoline (87 octane) was listed at $285.9 per gallon; the mileage difference is about 15%.

A study from Scotland about the production of corn is more than a little suspect. What type of nitrogen is the professor applying? By what method? What is the alternative ground cover? (In the US, far more nitrogen is applied per acre, and in a far more inefficient manner, to suburban yards than to the corn fields they replaced)
