What systems do we have in place to ensure that current food supply crops will not be sacrificed for higher profit yielding ethanol 2. As Florida increases the amount of alternate fuel / Ethanol, what is being done to decrease the cost of fuel at the pumps for the consumer because the overall cost of Ethanol production is less than oil being refined into gasoline. 3. How are consumers protected from price gauged Ethanol and greedy politicians. 4. What research has been conducted on the MPG effects of Ethanol? Ethanol burns at a lower temperature creating a slightly lower combustian ratio which leaves less power and more consumption to equal power output. Thus for example a car that is rated to get 30 MPG on highway will only get approx 26 MPG HWY. On a 15 gallon tank full a consumer will get 4 MPG x 15 Gal = 60 miles less per tank - equaling about $10 additional cost to acheive same MPG. 5. What will be done as far as how Auto Dealers / Manufacturers advertise MPG and avoid law suites due to inaccurate MPG ads and political agendas.
