You'll notice the ethanol mandate itself remains untouched. Blenders
are still required by law to include a certain percentage of ethanol
in the total fuel they sell.

Continued mandate + no subsidy = more expensive gas.

Don't think so. Ethanol from Brazil, as the article pointed out, is WAY
cheaper than domestic ethanol. On the order of $1.00 per gallon cheaper.

Besides, if more corn is redirected to food, thousands of Mexicans will quit
trying to sneak into the U.S. to get cheaper tortillas. Corn is REALLY
expensive in Mexico (they export it to the U.S.).
