2.5 gallons per bushel was yield back 5 years ago.
Some plants are getting close to 3 gallons per bushel.
As far as less energy per gallon. My example already adjusted for that with the price of ethanol at 2.40 a gallon. You will go the same miles on a 3.25 gallon of gas as you will 3.25 dollars worth of E85.
If we fed all the corn grown to livestock there would be so much meat that the price of meat would be a loosing deal for the livestock farmer.
The bottom line is there more than enough corn for livestock, ethanol and exports.
Livestock producers are enjoying some of the best prices they have ever received. They will make more money than the grain farmer the next few years.
The gas tax per gallon is the same for ethanol as it is for gasoline. So if you are saying it takes more gallons of ethanol to go the same miles the tax on ethanol is higher per mile.
