Oh. I didn't know that.



That would be because there are equally impressive studies that show a 35
percent energy GAIN after growing and distilling.

And still others that show that the same energy required to produce 1 BTU of
Gasoline Energy, will produce as much as 8 BTU of ethanol energy, and that
it is *gasoline* which is inefficient to produce, by comparison.

So take your pick as to which religion to believe.
