So many inaccurate statements in this thread. 1. The 16 billion gallons is ALL renewable fuels, not just ethanol. 2. Ethanol IS "subsidized" via the mandate. But oil is also heavily subsidized, yet no one seems to care much about that. 3.

IF the mandate is ended? Again, HAH! Anyone remember MTBE? Ethanol is used in its place -- about 7.5 billion gallons annually.
