Right on!! But remember, when you make ethanol from corn oil, or diesel from soy, that it uses a rough equivalency of fossil fuel to plant, grow and harvest the stuff. So there is no savings---just conversion of a fossel fuel product into an agricultural product into a automobile fuel product. That is why ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) is such an outrageous company. They want to convert corn into ethanol without telling us that to grow and harvest the corn, they have to use an equivalency of fossil fuel!!! On the other hand, I guess we deserve the ripoffs that we allow to happen. Incidentally, I think I'll purchase another vehicle (Vanagon) that gets 16 MPG, while I'm thinking about it.
