BobinIL :" #4) It uses more than a gallon of energy (equivalent) to make a gallon of ethanol (Explain energy equivalent? very subjective)"

Energy = Power and heat during compression and firing of auto cylinders.
Ethanol is lower in BTU's when it burns than oil , like 70% - 80% less in energy.
So you pay more for less BTU's.
Also, ethanol attracks moisture/ condensation in the tank, which is why they sell de-icer for winter usage.
Ethanol ruins gaskets in automotive engines.
Ethanol separates out of fuel when left for any length of time.

Ethanol is a CRAP SANDWICH which the consumer has been FORCED to purchase by the Federal EPA !

Really!!!!! then why is it the primary fuel for automobile racing??? Because they build their engines to run on it. I could argue with you Oilers on this for hours. You have been spoon fed that big oil crap sandwich. And wow! since i don’t agree with you I must be some DU plant right??
