The only thing corn can do in cars is an external combustion system
like a steam engine but thats not close to a regular car. The
corn I am talking about is the hard feed corn, burns nicely.
Another problem with it though is how do you keep rodents away?
They would really love a 10000 pound pile of it to keep them fed
in the winter....

If you get a group of like 30 of your neighbors to buy the oil together it will be a whole lot cheaper. My uncle has something called the "cartel" and it is brilliant. He basically gets all his oil free because he charges membership fee.
