[QUOTE="Flat Bottom, post: 182231, member: 4594"] I was reading a magazine article today that went over how it takes 1.6 gallons of ethanol to produce the same energy that 1 gallon of gasoline produces, that we are paying the government 30-40 cents a gallon to add ethanol to gasoline, and that most of the ethanol in the us is made using corn, and after all is said and done, the fossil fuel that goes into the process of making the ethanol equals what we are saving by using ethanol it's at 1/1 with corn. However some places use sugar cane (i believe) much easier and more cost effective to grow and harvest and it works out to be right around 6/1 you get 6 units of energy to every 1 unit that goes into producing and harvesting... Thought it was interesting. [/QUOTE]
