    You know what is better for us and the government? Getting rid of the excess corn farmers. Keep the food-grade corn farmers, oust the rest. We get our better fuel back and the government can spend that money elsewhere.

    Considering it was mostly sarcasm....

    On a serious note, I highly doubt that if we were to drop ethanol from gasoline that prices would change. Remember that the fuel suppliers have to buy the ethanol to add to their gasoline mixture...it's not given to them....unless the fuel company owns the farm...but even in that case, running a farm costs money...which is still added cost over pure gasoline. So, for the sake of debate, how would taking ethanol out of gasoline cause the price to go up significantly?
