So the meat we eat gets more expensive. So hell yeah save 50 cents a gallon on fuel. Of course take into account that ethanol is 15% less efficient than gas it actually only amounts to 15 cents a gallon, and you're food budget is 30% higher. Yeah that's a nice trade off.
A rather interesting article I read on that subject a while ago.
