I certainly agree. This alcohol fuel at the same price as original
straight gas is a rip off. Plus corn subsidy is a rip and then as well
as alcohol for fuel we are being pumped to accept HFCS as Corn Sugar as
"it's just sugar" crap. This latter stuff has been over marketed and
saturated our food supply, driving such an obesity epidemic that it now
threatens national security. 70% of kids of Military age are to unfit to
serve. They are to fat!!

Same thing for my Toyota Prius (the book doesn't say avoid the alcohol fuel, but I get better gas mileage, which to me means the engine is running better).  Besides, I don't like to pay folks to commit environmental sin, which growing corn for fuel is.  Sinful in other ways, too, like driving up food costs.  mcneely
