No ethanol gasoline in SD is cheaper than ethanol gasoline. Gasoline without ethanol is considered sub grade. This is all politics. Label the good stuff sub standard and the corn gasoline as standard. Ninety per-cent of the propane produced in the US is made into fertilizer to grow corn. To make fertilizer out of propane takes energy. Then it takes a lot of energy to produce ethanol from corn.

I am sure that people will say stop this goofy program. It will take a few years.
