E85 subsidies. Whats everyone's thought?

I'm still in the collecting parts stage and my motor setup depends on the fuel that I'm going to use. I was going to run around 11:1 for my boosted block on the corn. Now if corn prices increase to race gas prices, or worse gets dropped entirely, what is everyone that's running corn going to do?

I attached a picture of my GTO's piston after running E85 for three thousand miles. The piston is untouched other than a rag to soak up the anti-freeze that accumulated after pulling the heads.
The picture below is the cylinder to the left (#3) three thousand miles earlier. The carbon build-up was untouched by human hands. The E85 cleaned the piston!
After seeing the difference I understood why they call regular fuels "high carbon."

I believe there was a thread on e85performance.net about a year ago where there was government talk of a replacement fuel similar to methanol for use as an alternative. But, without doing a lot of searching I cannot say exactly.

To the OP I say go for it because you'll just be paying a little more if anything for the ethanol and I see benefits for you. In North Texas I find quite often at least and even down around here sometimes
