Can someone please remind me of the advantages of ethanol in fuel?
It strikes me that setting up competitive tension between the

Admittedly the timeline for this story is a little dated, but the point made is still valid. It was a hot topic in the news in New Zealand when I was over there a couple of weeks ago. I guess it's OK if we are not the ones going without food because those in some affluent countries need fuel for their arguably extravagant activities.

Or is it?
