E85 is often made from feed corn, but not from food corn. Filling up with E85 may cause beef prices to rise, but it is no secret that beef production is the least cost effective way to use an acre of ground for feeding people anyway. _http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/241522_ (http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/241522) Jim in Tucson E85 EVO In a message dated 8/5/2008 6:53:20 A.M.

I didn't see any reference to the assertion (published in Time magazine, among others) that filling an SUV with E85 uses enough corn to feed a person for a year. Now there's a shortage of corn that causes its price as well the price of other grains to rise substantially. I get the feeling that the only real benefactors are those that had the excess supply of corn a few years ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: _Mark Phillips_ (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 6:38 AM Subject: NMC, NPC; E85 article All, Past postings have debated the pros & cons of E85.
