Ethanol Cheaper Than Gasoline

["Ralph Ausmann" <ralph.ausmann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

News from the Heartland's Ron Traver, Wheat Rancher "Extra-Ordinaire"
and Dakota Conservative political agitator...

    The price for a gallon of ethanol in Sioux Falls dropped 12 cents
overnight to $1.98, even cheaper than that at some gas stations, and it
didn't take long for motorists to notice.
    It's not a return to the good old days, but car buffs are taking a
trip down memory lane at these prices. "Definitely been a long time, I'm
glad it has dropped that way I can afford to put more in my pickup
truck," said Rick Crites.
    Gas Plus on West 12th Street is selling ethanol for a $1.93.
    "That looks pretty good there," said Daralle Hovdestad.
    A sure sign gas prices are heading in the right direction at least
for now. "I couldn't believe it," said Kathy Hickcox.
    Do you remember the last time it was below $2.00? "Ah, about six
months ago? I don't remember."
    "Last year wasn't it?"
    According to the manager at the Get N Go on West 12th Street, it's
only been two months.
    But consider this. Last year people were fearing $1.98, now, they're
cheering $1.98.
    "I was happy."
    "I thought it was nice."
    "That's why I'm here."
    "It's about time they come down."

The last I bought was 2.36.  The cheapest stuff around here...
That ethanol stuff would probably be OK in the AMX with it's higher
compression 343 as long as I pay a little attention to the rubber gas
line fittings, gaskets, etc... Heck the Koreans used to run their old
garbage trucks on stirred wet manure.  There s/b lots of answers for us.
