Recent E-10 experiance

There is a major drought in this country. Corn production is way down. What does this mean for a fuel supply that is 10% alcohol? Are we going to have to line up at the pumps to buy crappy gas?

I saw an add from one of the major oil companies that said that they were going to use aclohol from Brazil. This alcohol is made from sugar cane which is much more practical for alcohol production than corn but does take away from the "energy indipendance" argument for E-10.
