Gas is 4.00 a gallon

I make ethanol for 1.20 a gallon

1.00 fuel taxes


Gas 4.00 a gallon + ethanol 1.20 a gallon + 1.00 fuel taxes

=(4/100*15) + (1.2/100*85) + 1.00 = 2.62 a gallon!

Have you done much googling on the subject?

You're supposed to have a federal license to even have the still!

Not sure where you are but if you can get it to west Michigan I'm good for 10 gallons a week at $3.00 +/- a few cents a gallon. That's 40 cents a gallon or $4.00 profit a week from just me. Now get a couple thousand people buying your ethanol and you have yourself a very profitable little business. 2,500 customers that you make $4 a week off of = over a half million $ in profit a year.
