Corn crops are down but most everybody is forgetting that we are trying to create fuel from a food source.

Ethanol is using enormous amounts of corn. Guvmint subsidizes the ethanol program due to it not being feasible. It simply can't stand on its own.

*My pickup gets 2.5-3 gallons LESS if I have to burn that ethanol added crap vs actual gasoline. Have to love the brilliance of the process ;-)
