I didn't notice anything in the article you posted regarding MTBE. (Admittedly, I scanned the article I am at work,,, and suppose to be working ;~/)

MTBE's are used as an oxygenate in fuels. MTBE's are a known carcinagen and have been found in drinking water supplies in CA. I believe it was primarily drinking water supplies that used resivors (sp) for storing the water. I cannot document this fact, but it stands to reason. I do not intend to imply that all of CA's drinking water is laced with MTBE.

Ethanol is the cleanest, least expensive alternative oxygenate.

I understand your point about ADM, and it is well taken. However, there is a health related issue that must be acknowledged and addressed.
