[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 214088, member: 195"] Good question Tom as it takes roughly .48% of a barrel in energy to make a barrel of gasoline. So we need a barrel and a half for every barrel of product. Ethanol is a real loser in it will take an additional barrel to get it to a motor fuel. One of the major problems with ethanol is transportation as it can not be pipelined, it has to be sent by truck rail or barge. Ethanol absorbs water which is used in refining processes and falls out in tankage and can be drawn off. So it can not use the current pipeline system we have as it has to stay in a dry enviroment.
