Way to Go, Brazil!

"Brazil fights oil prices with alcohol"

Oh, wait...

Drivers are fighting rising gasoline prices by buying "flex" or "flexible fuel" cars that slurp more alcohol.

Alcohol made from sugar cane is becoming the fuel of choice in Brazil, and other countries - so much so that global sugar prices hit a seven-year high this week.
Great, so now sugar is going up. Lovely.
