MPG and power output are both down with E10. Simply because a gallon of alcohol contains less energy than a gallon of gasoline.

Growers of corn, and their state governments and trade organizations, think that E10 fuel is great stuff, and E15 even better. They're entitled to their opinion.

Now, where are the free-market Republicans and the Libertarians when we need them? I'm essentially a liberal but this ethanol legislation is just a way to sell corn and drive up it's market price. I say "No fair!".
