Even a broken clock .. has the right time twice a day.
This is the first thing I hve heard this woman utter that actually makes sense..., almost !
It costs $!.37 for every one dollar worth of ethanol. That's a $0.37 shortfall .
THe only thing that makes ethanol profitable is the government subsidy .
Also , the ethanol has a lower btu value than gasoline, so you are loseing horsepower there too .
So actually , ethanol is double taxation : #1) the government subsidy, and #2) lower fuel economy / lower milage .
