Many gasoline stations provide a blended fuel, which typically is 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline.
You can produce your own ethanol for an ongoing cost of less than $2 per gallon. If you grow your own corn, you can distill more than 300 gallons of ethanol from 1 acre of corn. If you drive less than 10,000 miles per year, you could produce all your own fuel from 2 acres of corn â and, granted, a lot of labor.
