The reason it is priced accordingly is that your state probably contributes about .42 per gallon to the ethanol producer. Yes, this is government subsidized -- it is a totally braindead program when it comes to the economics, and if you want to make a bad thing continue to work, then go along with all the other lemmings -- in order for ethanol to even be feasible, you are looking at $26 per barrel oil, and we won't ever see that again. It takes more energy to make the stuff, than it produces -- how about that for rocket science?
I will grant that it is a "renewable" energy resource -- but the only way a program like this makes sense is to use sugar cane -- corn is not high enough in sugar content. Stick with the soy and start thinking hydrogen.
