Total bull shit...
Saying there is not enough ethanol and that is causing gasoline prices to skyrocket.
Saying that ethanol could cause the price to go above $3.00 gallon

3. Corporate media never blames the oil companies for the high
price of gas. Just like they never blame the doctors for skyrocketing medical costs. Spin, spin, spin.
