I can't speak for the US but there is usually one or two garages in most UK towns that have a lead free high octane fuel for vintage cars.
Aviation fuel as well.

You meant leaded high octane fuel, didn't you?
I wonder why we can allow high octane lead free petrol in this country for old engines and vintage cars?
That's not his point either.
His point is - if you are using fossil fuels, try to use fuels that aren't quite as bad to the environment. And that the govt can regulate that, as otherwise we'd have the "tragedy of the commons" that I'm sure everyone on this forum discussed in their economics classes.
I saw a dirty jobs program where a dairy farmer did something similar. He invented a process using cow manure that created seeding pots. Providing a container and a biodegradable nutrient source all in one package. Rowe said it was genius.....if you could consider someone who worked with cow poo for a living a genius. LOL
Beats me. I'm not sure if it isn't available in limted quantities here.
refer to the 2008 study linked above which showed a range of 1.2-1.5 net gain......there is no loss....It is still a net loss.
Bullshit. More of it is consumed as meat, eggs and Dairy.

Yes we have you fucking retard. Electric cars run fine on solar generated electricity and are readily available and offered by all major car manufacurers.
from the statement you quoted...."the majority of the US corn production consumed by humans is in the form of corn syrup".......that consumed by animals is a different matter....
and they are selling dozens of them......
Have you ever heard of physics, moron? Conservation of energy? I didn't think so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_energy_balanceCassman, a professor of agronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said in 2008 that ethanol has a substantial net positive direct energy balance—1.5 to 1.6 more units of energy are derived from ethanol than are used to produce it. Comparing 2008 to 2003, Alan Tiemann of Seward, a Nebraska Corn Board member, said that ethanol plants produce 15 percent more ethanol from a bushel of corn and use about 20 percent less energy in the process. At the same time, corn growers are more efficient, producing more corn per acre and using less energy to do so.[4]
Pointless lie is pointless.
While your statement is true, you are replying to Mott's strawman.
your wording it differently doesn't change the fact that more corn is consumed as animal food than by humans as corn syrup. Lawyers are so stupid thinking technicalities and wording are more important than the facts themselves. That is why Yurt sucked too.
why do you ignore scientific fact?....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_energy_balance
reports based on data from 2003 or worse, from 1995, do not take into consideration the improvements made in the process......its like arguing that pocket calculators are not cost efficient because in the 70s they cost hundreds of dollars to produce.....
my statement was in response to a claim that ethanol production increased the costs of the corn that humans consumed........since no one claimed that animals don't eat more corn than humans your point is a worthless misdirection......what is your response to my point that brewer's mash, a by product of the ethanol production process can still be used as an animal feed?......
do you believe electric cars are successful?......
Depending on the ethanol study you read, net energy returns vary from .7-1.5 units of ethanol per unit of fossil fuel energy consumed.
