3-4 years ago my wife and I went to visit her relatives in NE Ohio from NW Illinois. A little over 500 miles each way. This was driving a Dodge Journey with an engine designed to burn E-85. We used E-85 going out and E-10 driving around Ohio and coming back home. E-85 was about 15.1 mpg and E-10 was 15.7 mpg. I was disappointed with the mileage both ways. My bro-in-law gets 27-29 mpg with his Honda SUV. My 2000 1500 chevy truck gets 15-16 mpg on E-25 driving around locally. Not very scientific but she uses E-85 all the time and it is usually $0.50 per gallon cheaper. Plus Illinois used to have a program to promote E-85 and by sending in her E-85 receipts she received over $400 each year which covered a month's car payment. I own a few shares in Adkins Energy, only a few miles away, and corn from my farm is usually sold there so we support our local business. Another plus with ethanol is we don't have to have a couple of aircraft carriers and support groups protecting a portion of our energy supply. So I think ethanol has a part in our energy supplies, plus it is a lot safer than MTBE as a gasoline oxygenate. Thank God we still have choices in this land of ours!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
