Default Ethanol; working now

IDIOT!

Ethanol has only about 60% of the BTUs that gasoline has. Not only that, but
it costs about 200% more to produce than gasoline. So, instead of paying
three bucks a gallon for gas and going thirty miles on a gallon you're gonna
pay six bucks a gallon and go only twenty miles on a gallon? Sure you are....

So many folks --- so few who can frame a rational thought.
