nit: that basically only applies to corn based ethanol. Brazil for some eerie
reason is able to grow sugar cane and produce ethanol that is energy positive


Minor nit, since very little sugar cane ethanol is available in the
US, which is what we were talking about. To sorta get this back on
track, I have seen nothing to indicate that ethanol from sugar cane does
any less damage to the vehicles. Anybody?
