Okay just for perspective and again this is on a CALENDAR Year basis (Jan 1 to Jan 1) so it doesn't line up with the Grain Marketing year.. (Sept 1 to Sept 1) and all that..

But you can SEE.. now Gasoline Supplied is in Myn Bbbls.. and we're bumping that RECORD established in 2007 at 3.389 billion Barrels... Yes per capital usage is down.. conservation.. but due to growth.. the TOTAL usage is pushing back up..  Which means that the Total Domestic usage for ethanol is also going up..  We'll come in somewhere around.. 14 byn gallons.. we're at 11.8 byn thus far.. with Exports ALSO growing.. Again we may or may not beat a byn gallons this year.. for a TOTAL usage of "around" 14.8 byn gallons.. for the year UP about 0.5 byn from Last year which was UP a 1.01 billion from the year before..

So even at a MODEST growth of only 3.3%.. that will put the CALENDAR Year grind for ethanol "around" 15.3 byn gallons.. with .991% as grain.. or "around" 5.47 billion bushels of grain..  Which we COULD even do today.. we have the CAPACITY to grind 15.5 byn gallons.. and we can push that over 100% if we need to..

So again.. "not there yet.. but working towards it.."

Cheers.
