If you had an Ethanol (or biodiesel, or any other biofuels) gas station at any reasonable distance from where you live, would you be willing to use biofuels instead of common fossil fuels? Why?

Example of prices are:
Gas, $4.12
Ethanol (or another biofuel), $3.22

Thank guys

Whatever is cheapest. Oil prices are ridiculous, over $4.00 a gallon, but biofuels are the reason why food prices are so high.

I use wvo a $1. a gal. diesel drives up food prices,not bio fuels.Some people so misinformed.

$3.22/gallon ethanol is morte expensive than $4.12 gasoline. A gallon of ethanol only has about half as much energy as a gallon of gas. I would buy whatever is most cost effective for me.

yes yes yes anything but oil from our enemies. everyone try and listen again. BIOFUELS ARE NOT RAISING FOOD PRICES BECAUSE CORN MAKES UP A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE COST OF FOOD. most of the cost in food processing is labor, advertising, packaging and most importantly TRANSPORTATION{4.50 PER GALLON FOR DIESEL}. why has the price of fruits and vegetables gone up along with everything else, are biofuels causing those foods to go up also? ethanol is not perfect but it is part of the answer for reaching energy indepence. yes it takes fuel to make ethanol and biodiesel. but how do think they get that 125 dollar per barrel oil in your gas tank. how much food is used to feed all the people it takes to produce all the oil that we use and how much steel does it take for those giant oil rigs? it has already been proven that it takes more water to produce a gallon of gasoline than a gallon of ethanol. one plus to ethanol you never hear about are the jobs that are being created with a robust ag industry and with biofuel industries. WE CAN PRODUCE ENOUGH FOOD AND FUEL FOR THE U.S. AND SOME OF THE WORLD. IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PROVIDE CHEAP FOOD FOR THE PLANET.
