Actually, Brazil uses sugar cane to produce ethanol - a much better source of it than corn is. Many of their cars (maybe all? I cant remember) are designed to use ethanol and gas interchangably. And it isnt that they dont drive. Brazil is a big country and though they have a lot of poor people they also have a sizable middle class who like cars as much as anybody. They also have some of the most amazing wildlife on the beach in Rio that you ever saw.
