Ethanol Still Sucks

According to fueleconomy.gov Gas on left ethanol on right
Annual Fuel Cost
$2235
$2768
for the family Dodge Caravan, yup that's right the cheaper e-85 is actually more expensive to drive. It also costs more to produce, and gives you less mileage, so in truth the saving the environment part is wrong because, you have to buy more to get the same mileage, and oh yeah it actually uses old-fashioned gas to produce, so thank you GM, Ford, and Chrysler for pushing this crap. To see the reduction in fuel economy yourself click here and see that even the government knows it costs more, but says its better, MORONS, or interestingly enough the 2008 model gets the same, mileage but costs more to drive and gets a lower overall mileage, here is the link, although it still costs more to drive on e-85

This makes me mad. Where were the agricultural and chemical engineers when they were planning this junk up? Simple Mass balance and energy balance equations would've figured this out already BEFORE we let Georgey sign a bunk bill and blame congress for writing it. Good Job Dems! You really don't want a congressional majority do you?
