Replying to: caribou1 (Jun 09, 2008 10:36 am) Oh, there's plenty of land to feed the global population. The problem is that it takes something like 450 bushels of grain to fill a tank with ethanol (almost 70 bushels for E85) and that's where a lot of it is going. 400 bushels of grain would feed a lot of people over the week or so that it takes to burn it in your vehicle. So, yes, it does become a matter of ethics and your points are well-taken. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
