Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton (October 5, 1946 – March 16, 2009) was an American Appalachian moonshiner and bootlegger. Born in Maggie Valley, North Carolina , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] he grew up, lived and died in the rural areas around Maggie Valley and nearby Cocke County, Tennessee .

Because methanol vaporizes at a lower temperature than ethanol, it is commonly believed that the foreshot contains most of the ...

One major drawback with corn ethanol, is the energy returned on energy invested , meaning the energy outputted in comparison to the energy required to output that energy. Compared to oil, with an 11:1 EROI, corn ethanol has a much lower EROI of 1.5:1, which, in turn, also provides less mileage per gallon compared to gasoline. [7]
