    It seems to me it would be far more economical and probably also more environmental friendly to use coal to make Diesel and Gas for fuel, than it would be to use corn to make Ethanol, or oil to make diesel/gas. So coal is now at $9 per ton while oil is at around $600 per ton (I assume about 6 Barrels a ton)... I think you can make almost as much gas/diesel out of coal as you do from oil, but the process is a bit more energy intense.
