why is it that we are all duped into believing something? the Ethanol was originally designed to be mixed with gas to reduce the oil consumption AND the price for a gallon of gas!! Like SYR74 said, farmers have for the past many years have been paid by the government to NOT grow corn, soybeans, wheat, etc. so prices stay competitive and worth growing. I would rather have farmeers growing corn for use rather than giving handouts for sitting around...jeee kinda sounds like our welfare system.as far as effects on our engines, I do agree that you should still have a choice to buy a regular gas and E15 and E85. I love that our Tahoe is E85 compatible because it is a hell of a lot cheaper but there is hardly any stations around in the south east. If E85 is less efficient, it is still cheaperin the long run, we only lose about 1-2 mpg using E85 and last I checked it was $1.30 cheaper for a gallon
