Seems all the media is on hybrids and E85.  Be careful with E85, your
loss in mileage may not make up for the decrease in price in certain
models.

You can cut the cost of your home heating by 50 percent with a corn
heater/furnace this winter.  They have hoppers so you only have to feed
it corn like once a week.

Diesels are more efficent and the engines last longer than gasoline
engines.  Many of these engines can run on 100 percent biodiesel made
from corn and ethanol.  The mileage is only 3 percent less than regular
diesel.  Volkswagon makes passenger cars like the Passat and new bug in
diesel that get 44 mpg in actual because my sister has one.
