Pullman, WA no longer has mogas. The FBO told me that the distributor would no longer deliver clear gasoline (without ehtanol).

There are now no airports in Washington with mogas.

Good! You shouldn't be flying on that stuff anyway. It is not cutting edge technology like 100LL is!

Awwww....*expletive expletive and more expletives*.

The nearest stations to our airpark have recently gone to corn squeezin's too. The end is near, I fear. And I just finally got my fuel transfer trailer working right.

Time to invent an alcohol extractor device. Maybe Ted Kennedy is available.

The politicians, the lobbyists, the farmers, and the mechanics that work on older vehicles will be happy.

It does not matter that by going over to the darkside, ethanol, the rest of us will be unhappy. I will also miss eating corn.

Naw, keep the corn, it's the pigs and cows I'll miss. You couldn't buy corn in Germany. To them it was only fit for animals to eat. I didn't know that and served it to my neighbor. He wasn't impressed

You guys aren't paying attention to the market are you? Field corn like I raise for livestock and ethanol production has come down about $2.50 a bushel in the last month. Funny how the news on TV isn't talking about that-----will be interesting to see if the grocery folks lower their prices any.

Now Marty, I don't know much, but I got enough sense to know what the farmer actually get's for the corn probably is probably what, about 5% of the cost of the finished product? So I'm no CPA, but if you doubled what the farmer got what would that do to the price of the finished product?
I'm not very smart, but I think the price of corn, fuel or whatever is more of a product of being played with as opposed to farmers getting rich.
And no I really don't think ethanol production will really do a whole lot to food prices. I believe in the free enterprise system. Farmers will grow whatever they can turn a profit on, and that will keep the supply up there with the demand, but as far as people "playing" with the price of commodities, I think that can be a problem.
But it is fun to jest about
