Secondly, anothe 5% of ethanol further serves as a moisture magnet and plays havoc with marine and over the road vehicles. Thirdly, fuel efficency drops with the increase of ethanol. Furthermore, how much more do we wish to pay for food? If you have another drought situation the competition between food and fuel sources will show up in the form of higher food costs to us.
