==Economic concerns from E85 use== *Ethanol production will increase the cost of corn, and the cost of food products that contain corn, or rely on corn for their production (such as beef). There is some concern that this is already happening. *Ethanol production consumes large amounts of water. *The cost of "converting" existing vehicles to run on E85. *E85 may be viable, but it has a long way to go before it can be relied on by an entire economy. *There is some concern that this is propaganda released from the American Petroleum Institute to tarnish and lessen alternative ethanol usage. The purchasing of corn futures by oil companies at high prices, driving up the cost of corn for billions of dollars, and selling it to companies such as General Mills cheaply recently caused the spike in corn prices. This was unrelated to ethanol production and corn now is down tremendously because big oil has stopped the artificial manipulation of corn futures to a certain extent.
