The fed mandated that 10% of the gas sold in the US will be ethanol, 
I have heard on other lists that usual crops will not be grown so 
they can grow corn for the ethanol market.

I saw several places with reg at $3.399 yesterday, it was $3.249 at 
those places last week. I have not bought bread is a couple of weeks 
but my flour bucket is about empty, I'm afraid to see what a 50# bag 
of bread four is going for these days. It was $13 as I recall last time...
