Paul again, links to peer reviews studies performed by qualified petrochemical engineers and mechanical engineers please. I know that on our last 3 vehicles going from E85 to E10 on the 2 that were/are flex fuel resulted in an increase of about 25% increase in economy over E85 and when I can buy gas without any ethanol I see about a 1 to 1.5 MPG gain.
Direct subsidies paid to ethanol producers were ended by the feds a few years ago. But some states are still paying those subsidies, generally with money given them by the feds.....plus ethanol mandates are a back door subsidy. Most businesses would love for the government to mandate that people buy their products.
As far as the viability of ethanol? I have read a lot of studies that say that it's a bad idea. Some of these studies have come out of major universities. So I'm supposed to believe some guy who makes money raising corn for ethanol or some guy who is a trained researcher working at an institute of higher learning? That's why I ask for links to peer review studies that prove what you claim. No I don't trust studies done by people pushing the sale of so called green energy and I won't ask you to accept studies done by big oil. I doubt either can be trusted to tell the truth.
