Sure ethanol has higher vapapor pressure but with an unsealed all you smell is gas which is a polutant in the air also,

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.

distort food markets

I've heard that a lot. I've heard others say grain prices account for so little of what's in our food budget, they're hardly worth mentioning.

Do you have any facts to prove whether and how much government-mandated ethanol distorts food markets?
