I know I do not have an engine that can use it, and I have no plans to buy a new car so that I might hopefully save a few pennies a gallon.<BR/><BR/>I was reading last week about the Agave growers in Mexico ripping out their plants to replace them with corn. The agave has a 10 year growing term, so if they decide that growing corn is a mistake, it will be another 10 years after that point that they are mature. What does this mean? An insane rise in the cost of Tequila. This ethanol binge is helping cause a shortage in barley, hops, agave, and who knows what other shortages it will cause in the beverage industry. I guess the one bright point is we will not have a shortage of corn whiskey.antzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05263584331326019249noreply@blogger.com
