“...end to ethanol price supports.”

So, let me get this straight. The fuel suppliers are FORCED to mix gasoline with 10% ethanol, which is subsidized, and now the subsidy is going to be removed?

Gee, what will that do to gas prices at the pump?

How much gas and diesel is wasted every year to make all this energy poor, economically undesirable fuel?

Reasonable question. The article calls for ending the tariff on foreign sugar ethanol(57 cents per gallon). That alone will drive the cost of ethanol gas down to or less that what it is now with the subsidy. But yes, ending the mandate to add ethanol as well as the subsidy and the tariff would be the best move.
