** Brazil is 25% ethanol, so price adjusted downward to be comparable
What I would like to see next is a comparison of public transportation, renewable energy policy, and vehicle efficiency pasted alongside this chart. Think there would be any obvious correlations?

For all you folks who think drilling more off the coast of the US to get around our peak limit now is a bad idea… look at the price that Iran and the Saudis pay per gallon you KNUCKLE HEADS!!!! Duh! Do you think it has anything to do with less EPA restrictions and the fact that it isn’t coming from half way around the world to get to the pumps? Stupid democrats!
