I agree, its all about greed. Toi me greed is state and federal government taxes on a gallon of fuel being more than we paid for the whole danged gallon 20 years ago. They confiscate more than the "greedy" oil companies do, and they don"t even have to be accountable to stockholders (tax payers). Yes, would say that greed pervades the oil industry. Hell, every government official and his brother has his hands in the till except the President. And he made his money in the oil business.

Looks to me the wrong people are being called thieves. We have E-85 bio fuel here too, but have you tried burning it in the winter time and dealing with its gelling problem? It aint the be all, end all as some would suggest. This is comming from a guy who would welcome a booming market in soybeans.
