I meant to say ethanol is a little more than
no-tax gas now. I can’t type or proof read worth crap.
Sure ethanol has higher vapapor pressure but with
an unsealed all you smell is gas which is a
polutant in the air also, much worse than grain
alcohol. So if a guys sees the price of 4 bucks
for gas at pump, it is alie andthey only charge
him two. Silly. Go to the CBOT history of
the prices and you will find it.Last year ethanol was
more than now but it was a lot less than gas pump
prices. early last year and year before ethanol
less even the no-tax gas price.Ans a 5 billion dollar
tax credit saving consumers 20-25 times that much
is a savings to me.
And that info came from a couple
of wall street brokerage firms and their analysts.
And it was posted on FR in some of the ethanol
bashing forums last year.Not my ideas, just smart
investors research, that stated ethanol kept gas
prices an average of about 50 cents a gal cheaper over
tha last bunch of years, so I just multiplied by
the usage and you have a figure. Which is many
times the tax credit. 2/3 of the Dept AG budget
is food stamps, like about 70 billion last I heard.
Do you holler about that?

A lot of folks have lost proper perspective,
theyt go bonkers over 5 billion in tax credits
and ethanol use and along with some other issues
have lost us an election to the libtard scum
running things now. For the first time in remembered
history a rural farm GOP area around here voted
for libtards, The saddest day here iswas to see
odummie signs all over the farm community. And one says
they are beating on us over ethanol and when prices crash
and I need supprts to be here next year to raise their
food, they will crucify me about that.I’m not voting
with them. “Them” being thought of as GOP. And then the
“them” have alienated 90% of immigrants with the
bad mouthing and them” still thought of as GOP,
is on the short end of an election.We have odumma.
Folks strain a gnat and push a camel through
the eye of the needle, and we have the results.

More gasohol evaporates compared to "pure" gasoline. Even though you can't smell the ethanol, it and the gasoline produce smog.

So if a guys sees the price of 4 bucks for gas at pump, it is alie andthey only charge him two.

Huh?

Last year ethanol was more than now but it was a lot less than gas pump prices.

Why would you compare untaxed prices with the taxed price at the pump? Maybe that's why you keep making your silly claims?

.Ans a 5 billion dollar tax credit saving consumers 20-25 times that much is a savings to me.

You keep making this claim with no proof. I'll wait.....

Not my ideas, just smart investors research, that stated ethanol kept gas prices an average of about 50 cents a gal cheaper over tha last bunch of years

Well, if some article you can't find made that claim, it must be true. LOL!

so I just multiplied by the usage and you have a figure.

Garbage in, garbage out.

2/3 of the Dept AG budget is food stamps, like about 70 billion last I heard. Do you holler about that?

You bet. I dislike all wasteful government programs, even ones that reduce gas mileage, distort food markets and lead to overbuilding of uneconomical ethanol plants.
