First, the $12 billion PR was by ONYI along with the percentage calculation error. However, the math wizards seem to be endemic in the Stanton stock world. USEI used to get the savings percentage of using their dual fuel backwards every week in their weekly fuel reports. They solved the issue by skipping the last seven reports or so.

Just so everyone is on the same page, ONYI claims their tech increases ethanol yield by 30% and drying gas represents 35% of the cost which will be eliminated via merger with USSE. Instead of saving a total of 65%, the savings are 50%. Without using a formula, look at it this way. One gallon of ethanol costs $1.00 to make. The process increases the one gallon to 1.3 gallons and JR makes it for .65. How much does one gallon cost? Hint: $.50.

Those figures are for example only. I have no interest in how much it costs to make ethanol.
