High cost of fuel affects food

A scooter gas best mileage is about 200mpg, unlike a car which gets 20mpg or a hybrid that gets 50mpg. The high cost of fuel is causing corn to be converted into ethanol and soybeans into biodiesel.

The US is viewing a food shortage, we now face the tightest supply of wheat since 1946, and soybean supplies also are uncommonly low. Rice is now being rationed by Walmart.

As food is converted into fuel our future looks grim.
