Yes save a few pennies on gas meanwhile my food bill is almost double what it was a few years ago. $2 for a dozen eggs( use to be 79 cents ) $6 a gallon OJ( used to be $4), $4 for a gallon milk( used to be $2.50 ) I could go on and on.

I never said they shouldn't build the gas stations, I'm just saying it won't be easy, fast or cheap. You can make a fuel that can be manufactured for 2cents a gallon and it won't matter if you can't get it into gas stations and out to the people.
Secondly, I don't know enough about it to know how much a person's food bill will go up. You would think if suddenly corn and beets were what we were using to make gas, gas companies might turn to farming to raise those things. There may be enough of increase in production that food won't go up in price that much.
Any change won't be fast, cheap or easy, but I think it is something we as a nation need to do if we want to continue to thrive.
