About six months ago I put a conversion kit on my car and I now run on corn. It's about $2.20 a gallon.
You realize that running on ethanol/alcohol could be bad for your engine? Even if supposedly designed 'safe' for it.
More interesting is that it makes you a prime 'welfare queen', yeah, one of those.
Really? Why don't you tell that to Brazil that even way back 2013 94% of the cars sold were on corn. Don't hear them bitchin', nor anyone in the States for that matter...
As far as 'welfare queen', I have no idea what that is nor do I care.
Really?
Brazil's ethanol fuel comes almost entirely from sugarcane, not corn; a plant that is 6-700% more efficient a source of ethanol-based fuel production. Brazil also stopped their government subsidization of E-fuel production and distribution some time ago.
I spent most of my life surrounded by Valley sugarcane fields, the dang burns were h3ll on the pool water, with all the ashfall.
Yes, US sugarcane is also heavily government-subsidized. That's why your grocery store prices on sugar and sugar-containing stuff is higher than elsewhere, and a major reason why we still embargo Cuba [and why so much lower quality, cheap corn syrup is substituted]. Yeah, I've known and worked with those dreaded Cubans; educated, smart, some refugees, some nationals [usually in other countries], good, decent folk.
The US still maintains it's huge ethanol government subsidies, direct and indirect.
IOW, a 'tax' that we all pay to a relative few businesses and people [mostly big ag] who suck it all up.
Check the EWG.org website for just the many million$/billion$ of farm subsidy payment$ we make [little of it goes to those much yammered about 'family farms', most goes to the big ag-biz]. The ethanol production subsidy info is out there, but harder to find; even the gas stations get subsidy payments for the ethanol tanks and pumps.
As far as you're not knowing about "As far as 'welfare queen', I have no idea what that is nor do I care.":
You're surely being deliberately disingenuous. Everybody since the days of Raygun knows what that is.
Sort of, they just don't know or realize who the REAL 'welfare queens' are. The real corporate ones who take many billion$ and trillions of US taxpayer dollars each quarter/year.
