Yeah sure if you only count carbon. Pollution does not equal CARBON. Carbon equals a SMALL TINY PART of pollution.
what percentage of cars are 2001 or newer? I say well less than half.
IF its less efficient per gallon you therefore have to BURN MORE GALLONS producing MORE pollution.
and what happens to all the fresh water and other resources they consume to actually CONVERT the corn to ethanol a resource far more valuable than even oil.
you do not EVER break even on Ethanol. Ever. you break even on TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED ethanol and only if you IGNORE the taxation that makes that "apparent" at the pump break even possible.
I can go 460 miles on 10 gallons of E10 or 495 miles on 9 gallons of E0
do the math. I am now burning MORE GALLONS of gasoline than before and this even includes ignoring the ethanol all together.
its not cleaner. its NOT renewable. its not cheaper. its not green by any stretch of the imagination. At least once you understand the full reality behind ethanol and its effects and consequences.
