No one seems to be willing to figure out the real cost of ethanol. How much fuel is being used by farmers to produce each gallon ethanol? I'm guessing it's several by the time the field is tille, fertilized, watered, harvested, hauled to the ethanol facility, etc. We'd be much better off figuring out how to produce cars that get better mileage. We were just in Ireland and they have cars that are getting 40+ mpg...and some of these cars are made by American companies (Ford, Chevy, etc). If they can do it for foreign countries, why can't they do it in the US?
