Answer 2

Not corn on its own, but on Ethanol -which is usually generated through a grain fermentation process -corn is common -it is highly refined and combustible and tons cleaner than petroleum. I don't think it is cool to use corn as fuel in cars when people could be eating it for their own fuel.

E85 is an alcohol fuel mixture that typically contains a mixture of up to 85% denatured fuel ethanol and gasoline or other hydrocarbon by volume. On an undenatured basis, the ethanol component ranges from 70% to 83%. E85 as a fuel is widely used in Sweden and is becoming increasingly common in the United States, mainly in the Midwest where corn is a major crop and is the primary source material for ethanol fuel production.
