An optimum mix appears to be E30 but this is work being done by a GreenHybrid member. We're not necessarily 'mainstream.'
As for "contributes to higher food cost," from what little I know of the subject, this is a bogus claim. Apparently unable to lie enough about hybrids any longer, the skeptics have decided to blame ethanol. The cost of food is a function of the cost of fuel needed to: (1) operate farm machinery, (2) make fertilizer, and (3) process into food we purchase. The tail is not wagging the dog.
