repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard which requires ethanol to be blended into gasoline.

A small number of big corn growers are making huge profits from the requirement to put ethanol into gasoline, at the expense of the majority of the American people. Diverting corn to make ethanol fuel is negatively affecting food prices, which is unconscionable at a time when so many people are going hungry. Ethanol in gasoline harms older cars because it is corrosive and absorbs water from the air. It also costs Americans more money because cars get lower mileage on ethanol-gas than pure gasoline because ethanol contains less combustion energy. It takes energy to make ethanol, so it does not really save any oil. Gasoline consumption is declining in the U.S. and oil production is increasing – there is no need for this illogical ethanol requirement.
