Not to mention ethanol (what the previous person kept referring to as "gasoline") is far less efficient, can only be used in high quantities on certain types of engines, and creates excessive smog during warmer months.
Don't forget that every acre of corn grown for ethanol is one less acre of food grown and when you increase from 10% ethanol to 100%, you're going to need 10x the amount of land to grow these crops all so we can pay top dollar at the pump to live in smog filled cities and get 10MPG in our vehicles.
