David's right when he says that he thinks that we need them all. Right now, Ethanol prices are still as high as regular gasoline in Indiana, which is a shame. I work for our family-owned and operated John Deere dealership and for that, I support ethanol, bio-diesel, etc. In fact, I recently purchased a new GMC 1500 Sierra and chose a model that has 5.3 flex-fuel engine in it. For those unfamiliar, the flex-fuel engine allows the consumer to use either gasoline and/or ethanol in their vehicle. It can take up to 80% ethanol in fact. There are limited things with the flex-fuel such as miles-per-gallon; it burns quickly and lowers your mpg. However, when [not if] the price of ethanol drops to where it appears to have in other parts of the US, such as Iowa, I believe, then it will benefit me more. Until that time, the price at the pump is nearly equal with gasoline. That's my two cents.
