We are already seeing an increase in corn and it's related products prices because of ethanol. We really need to back off this love affair with ethanol and drill for our own oil.

Good, keep the ethanol in Iowa. Drink it, bathe in it, burn it, swim in it, use it for mouthwash, we don't care, just so it's not foisted on the rest of us for political reasons. If it weren't for political morons, the industry would never have existed in the 1st place, and the price of food wouldn't have gone up the way it has as a result of it.

So you would rather support foreign oil than use ethanol which provides jobs to thousands of workers and benefits farmers which are also producing the corn that feeds you every day?
I don't believe that ethanol from corn is the answer to ridding us of our dependence on foreign oil but until a better solution is found ethanol is what we have.
They just finished building the largest capacity ethanol plant in the country here in Cedar Rapids recently. Ethanol is not going away anytime soon. One hell of a lot of corn comes in to this city every day to produce ethanol.
FYI: There is ethanol in every state. There are 12 states that don't require labeling when ethanol is used under a certain percentage so you may be using it regardless if you know it or not.

Talk about a load of crap. You can blame this on Obama for increasing the EPA's budget by almost 3 billion dollars.....
Thank god the GOP is now looking at cutting it back down lower then it was when Obama increased it....The EPA's budget is 10 billion a year, and what exactly do they do with this 10 billion? Put up warnings and mandate things, sorry but it doesnt take 10 billion a year to do that.
2012 cant come fast enough

Do they realize that this will mess people up when pumping diesel?!
Diesel has a SAE color code of yellow for storage...
Argh... shows you how lame our country is.

I have seen diesel pumps in yellow, green and black so if there is a universal color it isn't being followed.
BP for instance uses black for diesel and green for unleaded.
