In additon, it takes 400lbs of corn to make 20 gallons of ethanol. This is enough corn to feed a starving man for a whole year. Biodiesel is the way to go. your fuel economy will drop off only 5-7 % your fuel system will last longer because of the better lubrocation. Also, if you make from used fry oil your avioding the food chain and can produce it for only around 90cents. Look on youtube.com for people who can show you how to easily make it.
