I don't know how much more it costs to make but I do know they use a lot of it in the U.S. and their fuel prices are quite a bit cheaper than here. They had a lot of ethanol in their fuel 30 years ago.

Lots of talk on ethanol over here too. Price of crude over $40/barrel to be economic. Talk of tax break to allow 10% inclusion in road fuels. Would only use 1/2 million tonnes wheat and give biproducts one feed and another which would allow lower grade milling wheat to be used for bread
Doesn't sound that great to me.

We also have an oil company here(Mohawk) that has used a portion of ethanol in their fuel for over 20 years. Costs the same as any other gasoline and the byproducts are fed at Poundmaker feedlots in Sask. I don't know if they get a subsidy. I do know with the ethanol in it you never have to worry about fuel lines freezing up.

Hay Nakoda, did you factor in the cost of keeping us farmers in business? and how about the cost of rural de-population. Remember when we export grain we also ship a natural resource with it. Burning ethanol would help us maintain a healthy enviroment for my kids.
