Ok, jumping into the off-topic thread....
I haven't lived in the U.S. for almost 10 years, but even when I was
there, where I lived (Virginia) there was a requirement that all gas was
a minimum 10 % ethanol during the winter. Many stations didn't bother
changing their supply out-of-season, so year round it was 10 % ethanol.
That was quite some time ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the
requirements for corn-based fuel has been increased.
Also, according to the United States Department of Labor it is 4.7 % as
of Feb. 2007. Perhaps certain ethnic groups have a higher rate, but
your figures a way off.
Certainly petroleum is a reason that the United States are in Iraq, but
do you think all of the countries that have forces there have the same
motivation?
