If those SUVs in every driveway averaged 20 mpg instead of 12-15 mpg, there would not be a need for ethanol. And the demand for gas would be 25-30% lower--meaning lower pump prices. But the government has classified SUVs as "commercial" vehicles, and so exempt from car mpg rules. Those "commercial" vehicles are now in half the driveways in the country, and there has been little incentive for car companies to make them fuel efficient. That's the problem. Raising the price of corn meal and corn-on-the-cob isn't the solution.
