The Math: $8.00 bushel corn / 56 Lbs = 14 cents. Retail Box of Corn Flakes $3.29 - the corn 14 cents = $3.15. The reality is the cost of "corn" is just a very small part of food products Join the Food VS Ethanol Fuel Discussion

That plan must include that every vehicle should be a flex fuel vehicle . The reasoning is clear
2. National Security- if every vehicle is capable of running on ethanol or gasoline then America cannot be held hostage by terrorist or rouge Countries over oil..
3.Flex Fuel vehicles gives consumers choice at the pump Choice at the pump creates competition which leads to lower prices for everyone (no matter ones personal choice of fuel).
4. Creates Jobs in America everything from vehicle production to ethanol.
5. At $100 conversion per vehicle Flex Fuel vehicles are the least expensive path to lowering our dependence on Foreign Oil.
The Obama transition team
We ask that members take 2 minutes and remind the Obama transition team of President Elect Barack Obama and VP Elect Joe Biden's campaign promises that all vehicles should have the flex fuel option and they have stated they would move on this requirement their first year..there is no better time then NOW
The Obama Team is asking for Idea..Remind them them .All Vehicles should be Flex Fuel Vehicles..all all Americans Choice at the pump
Contact President Barak Obama's transition team
UPDATE DEC 2,2008 FORD submits it's Bail out Plan to Congress Includes committing to E85 Flex Fuel Vehicles:
Support bio-fuels such as ethanol as an important long term solution to our energy needs, especially as second generation fuels become available. Ford has committed to doubling the production of flexible fuel vehicles by 2010 and to producing 50% of our products capable of running on E85 by 2012. In addition, we are operating demonstration fleets of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles capable of running on E85.
While E85Prices.com believes all Vehicles coming off the production line should immediately be a FFV ,we are pleased that Ford is committed to producing E85 capable vehicles. Fords plan means that by 2012 5 million Ford Vehicles will be FFV that year and increasing each year after.
GMs Plan Bail Out Plan Includes commitment to Flex Fuel Vehicles:
6.4 Fuel Efficiency Improvements?General Motors today offers 20 models with 30 miles per gallon or more on the highway more than any other manufacturer. General Motors is also the world leader in flex fuel technologies, with over 3 million flex fuel-equipped vehicles on U.S. roads today. Flex fuels represent the fastest way for the United States to reduce its dependence on imported oil.
While remaining a full-line manufacturer, GM will substantially change its product mix over the next four years, and launch predominately high-mileage, energy-efficient cars and crossovers. The Plan includes introducing this markets smallest 4-passenger vehicle, achieving higher fuel economy than the 2-passenger Smart Fortwo, the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid vehicle in the U.S. market today. In 2009, the Plan includes seven new vehicle launches in the United States, all of which will be either car or crossover models.
The Plan includes further increases in flex-fuel and hybrid-equipped vehicles. In 2012, over 50% of GMs new vehicle sales will be flex-fuel capable. Regarding hybrids, GM offers six models today more than any other manufacturer and will introduce the VUE Two-Mode hybrid, along with the Silverado and Sierra hybrids in 2009. By 2012, GM will offer 15 hybrid models.
In the Plan, further shifts to smaller displacement gas engines will occur 8-cylinder engines are replaced by 6-cylinder engines, 6-cylinder engines are replaced by 4-cylinder engines. More extensive use of turbo-charging is enabling the shift to smaller displacement engines, providing better fuel economy with normal operations but offering power in reserve for emergency situations. 4-cylinder engine usage, for example, will increase by 42% by 2012, and fuel-saving 6-speed automatic transmission volume will increase by 400%, to over 90% of GMs U.S. automatic transmission sales volume."

Pricing is Essential
The consumer fully understands that they will get slightly less MPG with current FFV models (10-25%) while awaiting E85 optimized engines and will accept that loss of mpg as long as E85 is priced accordingly.
Stations working directly with their local Ethanol plant are able to get the best wholesale price and able to keep the best prices at the pump.
Retailers call your local ethanol plant.
E85Prices.com August E85 Price Forecast:
E85 prices are expected to fall 15-25 cents per gallon in November. Expect the National Average Price Spread 17%-20% range.
