It turns out that ethanol fuel is more efficient than previously thought. A new study finds that it takes 95% less petroleum to make a gallon of fuel from corn than it does to make the same gallon from fossil fuels.
They also found that ethanol could be 95% free of green house gases if produced from woody materials instead of corn.

Ill be glad to fill up my tank with some ethanol mixed in with the gas. At least I know I am supporting US farmers instead of some middle eastern terrorist. Bring on the Ethanol.

| That is becoming big business in the northern states. I know Minnesota has really been putting alot into making it and pusing the concept. The gas stations over there carry mixed blends now. Not sure but i think the newest blend was 25% ethanol and 75% gasoline. |
