<P>Thanks all for the comments to the thread. </P> <P>My dad has said for years that there was a carburetor developed many years ago that would get 50 mph, but the auto makers bought the patent and surpressed it. Considering they can get at least 35 now why not 50?</P> <P>Here is the next and last question and answer on Ethanol.</P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Why not eliminate the tariffs?</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><BR></STRONG>Well, the idea behind the tariffs is to foster domestic production of ethanol. But amid the ongoing furor over high gas prices the idea of repealing the levy has gained momentum in Washington. Though it would probably annoy ethanol producers like agricultural giant Archer Daniels Midland, removing the tariffs could have some benefits. It would help ease price pressures and would likely encourage Brazil to boost its ethanol production. However, it's probably not a short-term solution.<BR><BR>Brazil is undergoing an ethanol revolution far more drastic than that in the U.S. Flex-fuel cars which can run solely on ethanol are widely available and the ethanol supply is short enough that the government recently reduced the mandatory ethanol content in gasoline from 25% to 20%.<BR><BR><BR></P>
