E85..great for boost?

[Steve85]

Isn't most of the corn used to make ethanol already being grown anyway? Our food reserves are teeny tiny, and we're buying wheat from fucking china, because farmers are subsidized to not grow the corn whether we eat it or not. They might as well use it for something - the "pollution" has been there for years.

FTFY.

Yup...Mr Eliason, mgt professor and Mac user extraordinare has a farm that he is paid by the gov't to not grow anything.

However, since the E85 thing, about 12.5 million more acres were slated for corn than last year. This does a few things...tries to make corn plentiful, it's still not enough so the price goes up and snuffing out land for other crops drives up their price. So additional tax dollars go to subsidize E85 and your food bills go up. Then, take out food and energy, say inflation is flat, lower the fed rate and diminish the buying power of my dollar. Could be living on borrowed time...

Oh well, high "octane" means more HP potential can be built into a combo so WOOHOO.
