These are the main reasons I have issue with the recent trend moving in favor of ethanol -- Less efficient, costing the USG millions (billions?) in subsidies, no real environmental benefit, and all the while it consumes food resources, driving up food costs. Commercialized ethanol exists for purely political reasons.
