EPA Waives More Ethanol Restrictions - Boaters Beware
Money Quote:
With fuel prices possibly projected to top $4 a gallon this summer in some parts of the country, it has many anglers and boaters scratching their heads as to why we're using ethanol at all. It didn't lower prices significantly, it didn't provide fuel mileage gains, it's caused the price of other goods to go up as well, it damages small engines, fuel lines and more and voids warranties.
I think the Ethanol industry is an immoral scam that steals food from the world's poor and bilks the American taxpayer.

The only reason it doesn't save money is because it's priced competitively against gas. If you do the math on E85 against a normal 10% blend, you'll get the same miles/dollar no matter what. Ethanol at the pump follows the price of gas, it's clear to me.
IMHO if we could get rid of gas, the ethanol would be priced on in it's own market based on it's own supply and demand, which might make it go down...or up. Probably up.
