I spotted this at SEMA last week. Isn't that the paintjob from the car that's going to be on the shirt?

Thanks for the post Agro. I think that would look better on a MINI for sure.

Duh... all I saw was the Union Jack. It's been forever since I attended skool, please forgive me.

Back to the corn, is this truck powered by Mazola oil?

Not that I saw. Just corn alcohol, but it was mixed in with petrol. Which makes it far less enjoyable to drink.

I remember reading about the risk of employees at the refinery getting drunk off the alcohol, so the bad stuff is added a.s.a.p.

Serious note: does anyone care that 2 to 3 gallons of fuel is consumed to produce 1 gallon of this stuff?

Not the farmers or their lobbyists. Nor the eco-warriors. It's profitable for the farmers and it's RENEWABLE!

It's also more sexy than the conversion of grass to fuel idea.
