subsidizing farmers is so we have less crop. they basically pay them not to grow too much.

didn't know ethanol is from corn. cool.

I thought surplus was a good thing?

and subsidizing was when the government pays farmers when their crop gets ruined, or they can't afford to pay for their farm anymore. so they don't go out of business??

Yes, as a preservative.

To the original poster, if you're just trying to save money by using GALLONS of ethanol, I wouldn't do it. If you're using it as an additive, I don't see why not.
