Ray, I think Rich will back me up on this - Iowa corn is way too good to go into ethanol.
My guess is it all comes from Illinois.

On Behalf Of 'Rich Barber' c300@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Politics and economics aside, consider our 1955 to very recent 300’s. If you liked what 10% ethanol did for performance,
mileage, gaskets, hoses, gas tank, fuel pumps & carbs you will love what 15% will do. Cheap oil makes corn gas look even worse economically. As an Iowa State Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have no qualms in stating that production of corn and ethanol
for motor fuel is thermodynamically, chemically, economically, physically and environmentally undefendable—plus it will rot H-E-double hockey sticks out of the fuel systems of our treasured older 300’s. A double plus for brain-dead environmentalists and the
ethanol lobby. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA (Cheap gas is $2.35/gallon out here—Maybe $0.50/gallon higher than in your state due to the inexplicable
simultaneous problems with several refineries that produce California-Grade motor fuel. Gasoline from your state is just not good enough for our 300’s and we can’t get them to run on rice.) From:

Nothing new here. ANYONE who understands physics, has known this for many years. When you dilute gas with 10% Ethanol you then have to burn more than a gallon to go as far as 1 gal of plain gas. All this so that 300 million cars have to use gas that the feds mandate must have 10% Ethanol to support 500 Iowa
corn growers. These are your lobbyists at work. Not to mention that the feds pay the refiners of Ethanol, 50 cents a gallon subsidy. So, every gallon you burn has a 5cent Federal payment included. Looks to me that this is the first place that the Tea Party should be looking to save money. Ray
