That is because the feds have said they don't intend to mandate anymore;bedcuase it is too expensive in overall cost. But I thnik they will find that they will have tio switch from corn but still wouldn't be mandated as more until they can produce it without using so much energy;do better than 37% average less per tank on e85 than regular gas and not be so highly subsidised;actually turn a profit on the production other than on the corn and have a way to transport it without using nothing but trucks because it is too corrosive to pipeline.
