My BIL works for one the largest manufacturers of Ethanol in Sao Paulo st.

The US uses about 40% of its corn crop for ethnol and is by far the alrgest producers of ot now. Of course its alos expensive and adds to cost of gaoline. Then increasing cause more cost because of now its tranposted;not pipeline because of beig corrosive.As corn goes up ethnol goes up asnd cost of gasoline containing it goes up. It increased much faster than crude cost lately.
