Take a step back,,, you're thinking that Alky (ethanol) is only made from
Corn. It can be made from MANY sources. Check out this site,,
http://running_on_alcohol.tripod.com/ 
 or just google "make ethanol". It came back with 957,000 hits! And who sez
it has to power ALL the vehicles?? There's room for some gasoline AND
biodiesel in there. There are too many things we NEED petro for. We
shouldn't be burning it. 
Just keep thinking "100+ octane,,13-1 compression!!" It's MADE for us hot
rodders!!
But hey,,, that's just ME!
