A lot of corn also goes to animal feed.

When I worked out the numbers, it was about 75% of US corn production going to ethanol and animal feed.

A lot of the other 25% is probably corn syrup.

Burning natural gas to make fertilizer to grow corn (a 2% efficient solar panel) to eventually blend with gasoline is uhhhhh, dumb.
