Why is is that all you Canadians can't drive. Left side passing lane is used for slow drivers.?
It's not just corn people are speculating about making fuel out of. I don't know why corn was selected. Maybe because of all the corn grown. Maybe because corn farmers are lobbying for this since it would be to their advantage. You can make ethanol out of different things. Corn is just one of them.Over the hills and far,far,far away...?
Here's an interesting article about it.

Fossil fuel ran out in the 70's too- we had gas rationing, etc. Magically, after the prices went up, the oil held out for another 30 years...and now they're trying to pull the same crap on those too young to remember the 70's.They chose corn because there's a hell of a lot of it grown in this country, and a lot of people with influence over politicians who'd like to see the price of it go up.
How are California Highway's exits numberred?
Whats in corn is sugar, which can be fermented into alcohol, which is flammable (a fuel). It's moonshine.
Yes ethanol can be made out of lots of things, but oddly enough people in this country seem to know everything there is to know about turning corn into moonshine already.

So unless ethanol starts getting produced from other products as well, the end result will probably be high fuel AND food prices.

Pretty much anything that can burn, processed into a liquid form, can fuel a diesel vehicle. Corn oil is no better than any other vegetable oil. Because we can grow more every year, vegetable oils are seen as an alternative to petroleum. The drawback is the cost. For a simple comparison, look at the cost of one gallon of gasoline, and then one gallon of vegetable oil. The vegetable oil costs more because there are more costs involved.Why can't people just just drive and quit poking along?

Corn made fuel is called Ethanol.. There is also a fuel made out of soybeans called Bio Diesel Made for diesel engines
How long does it take to learn driving by a person who isn't good at it at all?
Yes they are making corn into gasoline its ethanol. The only problem is it doesn't burn as efficient meaning less gas milage. Also it burns more fuel then it produces, meaning all the equipment it takes to harvest it, make it, ship it uses more fuel then the output of ethanol. Brazil I believe is running on more than 90% ethanol but it is made of sugar cane which burns better.Does anyone know why U.S. Highway 75 in Dallas, Tx has its exits numbered?
You get two things out of corn: Oil, and sugars.What annoys you about drivethrus and drivers?
Oil, you just burn it in diesels straight (Straight Vegetable Oil or SVO), or you modify it so it's thinner (biodiesel).
Why do we not tout motorcycles and scooters more?
Sugars, you ferment into ethanol and distill it into very pure ethanol, then burn it in cars designed for ethanol blended fuels ("E85".)
Where can I find some statistics (online) on hitchhiking?
It can work with lots of vegetables. Corn is nice because it's very starchy (for the sugars) and very cheap to grow. Soy is another popular one, as it yields lots of oil (for the diesels).
What is the mileage for the LPG Maruti Omni 5-seater?
"But if we use it for fuel, we can't eat it!" We already don't eat it. The vast majority of corn and soy production go to animal feed, to feed our meet. So the choice is between fuel and McNuggets.

Business Week had a very interesting article on ethanol (the corn-based fuel alternative). It was formulated to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But it does increase pollution, particularly, the pollution that messes with the ozone layer.It's not cheap,and it's subject to drought. A season of bad crops can be as damaging to a nation's fuel supply as an oil crisis.

The patent applications databases shows that many top fuel companies are experimenting with biodiesel and with esters. Esters are merely mineral oils that, when blended in just the right way with fuels, including high sulfur, diesel, and regular fuels, causes it to burn better.
It basically pays for itself (pennies per gallon) by increasing fuel mileage and then cuts pollution at the same time.

How do you drive Manual/Stick Shift in Traffic in Los Angeles?
I think that the sugars in the corn get converted to ethanol. There are many other things besides corn that would work as well. Cars can be converted to run on cooking oil, many of which come from vegetable products.More Questions & Answers ...
