  • You are not counting the fuel of oil by products during planting through finish product that produce ethanol or corn by products.

    "ethanol is not such a great idea"

  • Ethanol only contains 76,000BTU. This is compared to 116,090 of BTU of energy in a gallon of gasoline, the difference of about one third the amount of energy in a gallon of gas. To put it simply, 1.53 gallons of ethanol equals 1 gallon of gasoline and this significantly lowers the fuel mileage.
