    and btw, assuming the $74 barrel of crude and the $160 barrel of ethanol at 15% per gallon, you'd end up with $2.33 per gallon. Throw in a nickel for taxes and maybe 20¢ for production (10% production cost per gallon? is that high?), you'd end up with $2.48, so the last 50¢ or so would be pure profit.

    what would be a more acceptable profit for you? 30¢. 10¢?

    how much did you charge for your last freelance gig? how do you feel about paying $3.00 for a beer in the city when back home in my small town i can get the same beer for $1.25. which means the bar is still making a good profit, which means miller is actually making the beer for pennies on the dollar. yet i don't hear many people bitch about that.

    strange.
