Hybrid cars are the way to go!

You're missing the point of ethanol cars. They aren't build to improve mpg, they are reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. And because the ethanol is from plants, they do not contribute to climate change.

those are 2 good things, and its also cleaner on the enviroment as well. All good things. They also help in local jobs as well, farmers that grow the plants for it.
