This article gave me a headache. I can’t deal with all these metric numbers so early in the morning.

"..The UN says it takes 232kg of corn to fill a 50-litre car tank with ethanol. That is enough to feed a child for a year"
Ok, here are conversions
232 kg = 510 lb approx (used 2.2 lb per kg)
50 litre = 13 gals. (1 gal = 3.785 litres)
The ROI is just not there. The energy output alone to grow that much corn blows the ROI..
