to produce one gallon of ethanol fuel from corn, it takes an equal amount of energy to do it so it does not make any sense. However, ethanol from sugar canes are much more efficient than corn. If I remember correctly, it's like 8 times more efficient.

Perhaps we should start using sugar canes instead of corn. Fight cereal prices and diabetes in one shot
