WTF is this stuff, and why isn't the price cheaper?

Made with rotten corn and you paid extra multiple times to the corn farmers too through lots of taxes and subsidies.

Enjoy :laugh:

Uh oh... not this again... YAGasT

Commute on public transportation FTW.

That's all well and good to say... but then, I suppose it's actually possible where you live. There is absolutely no public transportation available for me to use to go to work or shopping.
 
Personally I think ethanol uses up more energy that what it's worth to make.

That's the point of switchgrass. It supposedly takes way less energy to make ethanol from switchgrass than from corn, so it's actually a useful alternative now.
 
We can get nothing but 10% Ethanol here, thanks to mother****** Mr Doyle. I believe its what caused a lot of the problems with my Aurora.
