Oh no "millions of damaged lawn mowers" rofl.

I think it was known from the begining that producing ethanol from corn only would not work. The amount of space needed in corn fields the US does not have especially with our fuel demand. I dont care if ethanol is ever a replacement for oil as long as its an alternative and available otherwise I will start making it myself.

Brazil makes it from sugar kane and I think its there primary fuel out there.

I'm too far north to even get E85, so I've had to just make my own. I found Ethanol for $2.73/L, and it seems to be my only option here.
