I read one gallon of oil makes 1.7 gallons of ethanol.Also read that sugar cane makes 6 times more ethanol than corn on one gallon of oil.You can make ethanol in a corn ethanol plant with sugar cane,and make it faster.

Why would you come on a website about tractors and badmouth ethanol?Looking for a fight?Dont know any better?You can read the same as I can,but you all choose to read propaganda,thats against yourself,if you are a farmer.That guy that said ethanol made less energy than it took to make it has been proved to be a liar,and yet,ignorant people keep digging his lie back up,writing articles based on it,and taking a big fat paycheck from big oil.Then you all read this stuff,and dont look anywhere else,and get on here and proclaim it as the truth?I dont get it,never will.

If we used all of the corn in the United States we couldnt make but 20% of our gasoline needs right now.That means if we run out of oil we could either use sugar cane to make enough ethanol to replace gasoline at our level now,or you can ride a train that burns ethanol.You will ride a train sooner using only oil.If algae works we wont need oil any more,at least not very much.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Diesel Vs. Gasoline - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on ... [Read Article]
