Hello:
Excuse me but the discussion is about putting alcohol in our cars, not drinking it.


Pardon the digression, but the history of turning corn into cash has some parallels with ethanol fuels. I believe it will take more than the collector car hobby to fight the Ag lobby. If we could get the environmental crowd to join in something might be accomplished.

I've read that when you consider the petro used in farm tractors, fertilizers, refining processes and transportation, it takes about 1.2 gallons of petro to produce 1 gallon of ethanol fuel....hardly friendly to the environment.
