But doesn't his observation make US corn ethanol look pretty pitiful in comparison? If ethanol producers would price their product at less than 50% that of gasoline, like it apparently is in Brazil, US consumers would love it, and FFVs would be flying off the showroom floors, and E85 would be the top selling fuel in the US. And that would really stick to it to the oil companies. Why can't US ethanol be as cheap as Brazil - I don't think they get any subsidies? Bob is right, Brazilian ethanol does rock.
