Ethanol Pumped In All States But Not Everyone Sold On It

Houston Chronicle:
Ethanol has a toe-hold in every state, pushed by increased production, government subsidies and people looking to save a few pennies at the pump.
“For the farmer, it’s another market for our product _ this is a good thing,” said Mike Clemens, a Wimbledon farmer and a director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.
“Corn is an American-made product that we convert into an American-made fuel,” Clemens said. “It lessens the reliance on foreign oil, helps the economy and helps the farmer _ I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t like it.”
Yet not everyone is sold on it _ many motorists still are willing to pay a premium for gasoline without the corn-based fuel additive if they can find it.
“Ethanol is not my favorite thing, but I will use it if I have to,” said Kenny Doll who was filling up recently at a gas station that offered only ethanol blends. “I think I get a little better gas mileage using regular gas.” More.
