Many folks believe ethanol in California gas increases oil use and profit

The $0.51 per gal. corporate welfare to the oil refiners for adding 5.6% ethanol to California gas is about $500,000,000.00 per year.

The ethanol may add over $1.00 per gal. to the gas profit in California.

That may be about $100 billion in oil profit from California motorists.

The science is interesting but so is the money.

A $4 billion Prop. 87 oil tax may add $40 billion in oil profit.

Where did they get that study?
It was my understanding that those oxides of nitrogen were caused by interaction of ozone, UV radiation and nitrogen.
