We've had a surplus if corn since Vietnam. It is a grain safety stock in case of global war (like WWII). If not bought, the land will be used for non farming, and we'll be at a food disadvantage in an emergency as Germany, Japan and Italy were in 1935-1945. That's the great "conspiracy ". Thays why the food pyramid exactly matches a soldier's mess hall diet. So this is a way to use the "gvment cheese" the government is going to buy to plow under anyway. Ethanol is an octane booster (Ethyl antiknock pumps in the 50s). It allows us to refine 83 octane cheap gasoline and boost it to 87-93 by adding " up to 10% ethanol". It depends on the vehicle's age if you get significantly different fuel mileage or any component degradation. A 65 Plymouth, yeah, 8%. A 2018 Focus Flex, no or not much. As to water separation. That was worse with 100% gasoline and vented caps (like that Plymouth or your lawnmower). If even a little water gets in via moist air, seaspray or into the station storage tanks: gasoline just gets complete water bubbles that won't burn. Ethanol can mix with that moisture (to a saturation point) and it will burn. In the 70s I remember water in the gas and lawnmowers/bikes that got lots of water in the gas, settling at the bottom and the carb bowl by gravity feed. I did live at a seacoast. I remember my Maverick gas tank rusting and having to be removed and cleaned. I remember my Honda tank getting rust in it. That was BEFORE ethanol. That was leaded 89 gasoline. I now have cars that go over 250k miles with no motor or fuel rebuilds. I drain gas from my motorcycle each three months to ensure it is clean and hasn't picked up silt from a pump. I have yet to find a water layer or milky layer in those pulls when i set my petcock to reserve (bottom feed) and drain into a glass bottle. I know there's lots of THIS AND THAT folk knowledge out there, but fuel seems OK to me. It costs $2 a gal or $2.50 for premium. If the gasoline is yellow, it comes from poorer grades of crude oil (like shale or fracking). If clear it comes from better refining. Remember corn alcohol is clear. It doesn't make gasoline yellow. It just gets used in shitty discount gasoline blends as well as good blends. BTW wonderful fracking is injecting steam water into fragmented and sludged oil fields to extract a liquid oil. You don't think that has water in it.

That's actually the real cost of gasoline, E10 pump gas is usually cheaper because of the subsidies. E85 is usually even cheaper still than pump gas for that reason. If you took away the subsidies, the cost would be significantly higher than refined gasoline. Honestly, to me it's worth it to pay 50 cents more to get more power, better mileage, and no ill effects on my classic cars and two stroke engines. The offset in gas mileage increasing 10% makes up for the price premium, IMO.

But once in while the question comes: we are using or soil to grow fuel instead of food, is it worthy? The ethanol idea exist for a long time here in Brazil, basically since petrol shocks done by OPEC. But we had a guy who said that it wasn't a good idea and invested in eletric cars, his name was Gurgel, at that time was something very simple but the government didn't give the same support to his company as they gave to produce ethanol. And now we have not any 100% Brazilian car company.

Stairway to heaven Bohemian rhapsody. It isn't damaging, not in the least. Auto manufacturers collude with oil companies to insure that the primary fuel for automobiles is gasoline and any damage caused by using alcohol is limited to electronic controls of the engine. Circumventing the poor performance of an engine requires replacement of the electronic fuel management components after the warranty expires. You've bought into a lie and Stossel is promoting it. Alcohol has been used as a racing fuel for over 100 years and is used in modern engines to this day.

I have a couple of old cars. A V8 powered 1979 Jeep CJ7, and a 1970 Oldsmobile 442. They ran better on the cheapest 100% gas, than they run on the most expensive ethanol garbage. For a long time I had to drive very far out of my way to the last gas station selling 100% gas, until it too made the switch. Now I need to use premium, and they still don't run as well as they used to.

One of our products we make is bio-diesel (methyl esters). We make it from waste vegetable oil, potash and methanol. It works well but there is no way we can sell it for cheaper than standard diesel. Larger companies can get credits (called RINs) but this is not available to most smaller producers. This is a great way to turn a waste product into liquid fuel and it is good for the environment since it burns much cleaner. However, these larger companies often use virgin oils, and that becomes a problem as it drives up the cost for food.

Oil companies get subsidies too. Biodiesel manufacturers got subsidies and the subsidy was basically the amount of profit that they could make; many went out of business from the removal of subsidies and then government would bring them back a year later and retroactively pay for prior years. Big biodiesel companies kept going while small waited to see if the subsidy came back. Seemed like gov was in the ear of the big ones there. Ethanol has half the energy density of gasoline. It's a pretty terrible substitute for gasoline. I think subsidies are likely the only reason farmers choose to make ethanol instead of feed us. If we get rid of them, the economy will probably find out that ethanol isn't worth the effort. Your car does need to use fuel to transport that less energy dense fuel, so they're indirectly making you burn more fuel. When ethanol was first mandated to be mixed in gasoline, I read a pamphlet at a Shell station claiming that 10% ethanol will not change your fuel economy. It then went on to talk about "other factors" in case you noticed a fuel economy loss, such as tire pressure and weight load in the car. I read this right in the middle of engineering school and was disgusted by the lies.

Ethanol is good for the car industry but not for the consumer. Ethanol damages alot of the engine parts of your car. Ethanol can corrode rubber, plastic and many parts inside the engine of the car. The way they try to sell you this is by telling you that you're "helping the environment," which is not true. The gas companies are pumping 10 to 15% Ethanol into your gasoline and yet the prices are still the same or even higher. At the end of the day the consumer has to cough up more money for a new engine or a new car, which is good for the car industry but definitely not good for the environment nor the pocket of the consumer.

Do you *really* believe that environmentalists have that kind of power? Money talks in government, a protest sign doesn't. The real reason for ethanol being subsidized is more complex. America was producing less than half the amount of oil we currently produce. We were heavily reliant on OPEC. Ethanol was a desperate attempt to reduce a foreign oil vulnerability. There were also business interests at play and geopolitical shifts in energy consumption.

I use E85 in my F150 and I love it. The new F150s are high compression engines which need minimum 91 octane, and 93 for the best result. Ethanol is 105-115 octane. It burns super clean (you can stick your finger in the tail pipe and it'll come out clean), it deposits no carbon, burns cool, is wayyyy cheaper then premium (more than a dollar cheaper).
