Although it seems like a great idea on the surface, many countries are experiencing a surge in grocery costs as ethanol production increases. But why is this and does it affect you?

Website design By BotEap.comThe most widely used type of biofuel today is called E85, which is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. It’s basically 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. The proportion of this mixture is adjusted according to the climatic temperatures, so during the winter months more gasoline is needed in the mixture to function.

Website design By BotEap.comThe beginning of this chain reaction of biofuel production is corn. Corn is the main food from which ethanol is produced. And since farmers grow this crop, there is a limited amount of land to cultivate. And while the supply of corn has grown, farmers are struggling to keep up.

Website design By BotEap.comWith this increased demand, corn has become very profitable to grow. Farmers are sacrificing the cultivation of other products such as soybeans and wheat to have more land to grow corn. So instead of a shortage of just one crop, corn, we now have a shortage of three, corn, wheat, and soybeans.

This is accomplished by using a small electrical current from the battery to release the hydrogen gas from the water. This then mixes with your vehicle’s air / fuel mixture.
