This is good news. Maybe I'll start seeing gas without ethanol near me soon.  [thumbsup]

I think it will take a little time for the economic fallout to take place - will gas prices go up? Will food cost go down?  Wait and see!

No more snowmobile burn-downs due to water-laden ethanol, for one.

No way!

However, it ends a tariff on Brazilian ethanol

Brazilians pay about $1/gallon for their ethanol fuel (E100)

Something tells me this means MORE ethanol not less because without the tariff it will be far cheaper.
