Remember back when selling ethanol for $1.85 was the promotion of choice? Well, with gas prices falling like there's no tomorrow, focus has shifted to other ways to attracting ethanol-pumpers. The latest from the Iowa Clean Air Choice Team is to hold a lunchtime pig roast to celebrate the opening of a new ethanol pump at a station in Inwood, Iowa. The festivities take place on November 15 (Saturday), so you've got time to build up your hunger if you think pork and corn fuel go well together. If you go, the details you need are after the jump.

Somebody should tell them that meat production is more detrimental to our environment than transportation, (at least in emissions). That looks disgusting anyway, (and I used to eat meat).
