Ethanol website
A quote:
<>
This website reads like it's owned by a corn farmer.
It's true that ethanol has a higher octane rating than gasoline which means nothing. Plain fact is that it has 1/3 less energy per gallon which means you use more to achieve the same performance. When Washington state required a 10% ethanol blend in the winter months (long gone, thank God) my gas mileage dropped 10% and performance was down. And don't even think of E85 in an engine not designed for it. This is NOT Brazil.
Wander on down to Barnes & Noble and read for free a good article by Jim Pasha on ethanol use in the Porsche magazine "Excellence."
