If you don't mind me asking, what's your blunderbuss of choice? Binelli?

Want to bring down food costs? Have farmers switch back to growing food crops.

Converting food to fuel is just wrong when it could be sent to the starving children that USAID has been feeding.

How much subsidies do you get to grow corn? Do you get money from USAID? LOL

Trump had to form a coalition to get elected. He and future republicans need the corn states. It will be tough to get rid of ethanol even though we obviously should.
As long as Iowa kicks off primary season, no Republican can campaign on eliminating ethanol. If you want to immediately increase the fuel efficiency of all gas vehicles, ban ethanol.

Or make non ethanol as hard to come by as the ethanol free

Its not that simple. Not every station has it. Also its cheaper to make non-ethanol gasoline. The reason non-ethanol gas is more expensive at the pump is a supply/demand issue artificially created by government mandates

Please make this happen. I would love cheaper gas that gives me more MPG.

It would also make feed cheaper therefore making beef, pork, etc cheaper
And most of all, GASOLINE would be cheaper! Bring down the price of fuel, and EVERYTHING goes down in price!

Explain.
You’re asking a guy with a CORNhuskers logo. Think about it for a minute.

That being said, ethanol subsidies are AWFUL for the vast majority of our country and its citizens. We end up paying more for food, our cars don't last as long, and we pay more for fuel because we get WORSE gas mileage. If the feds didn't prop up the price of gas with subsidies, paid for with our taxes, ethanol would be more expensive than non-ethanol at the pump.

I think that’s taking it too far.
We need choices, and we need to let the market pick the winners and losers, not the government.
Plus that e85 makes a 600HP+ f150 possible for a few hundred dollars (tuner plus custom calibration) so that’s pretty nifty.

Yes, POTUS Trump. Please make this happen.
Grow corn for food, not fuel.

What do you do with a 600hp F150?

About 11.8 sec quarter mile in a crew cab on 35” tires
Also works great to haul family and groceries and tow a 40 horse tractor like it isn’t there.

Follow the money. The corn lobby and ADM throw a ton of it at Congress.

Except that Ted Cruz ran against ethanol in Iowa in 2015 and won the 2016 Iowa Caucuses.
