I'd like to see the proof behind it being bad for fuel injectors.

From what I've experienced, it is very good for fuel systems.
This bill will help corn farmers, and as a competitive result, other grain farmers as well. Sure, it will help the corporate farms too, but the answer to that is to actually apply the payment limitations to one payment per farmer.

While you believe that it may take more petroleum products to make ethanol(I assume you mean it takes more petroleum BTUs to make ethanol than it produces), I'd like to see you back that up with facts as well, as I happen to know that is bologna. The biggest reason for consuming petroleum when making ethanol is to 'denature' it and make it burn visibly. They require the addition of gasoline at the plant before they can transport it, but it is just blended straight in and transported out as gasohol. You can hardly count that use against ethanol production, that's just a safety requirement.
