Paul, BS! Pure ethonal produces 75,670 BTUs per gallon. Pure low octain gas produces 115,600 BTU's per gallon. That means that gas, no matter how an engine or other fuel burning device is used, is more that 25% more efficeient than ethanol. Hard to argue with scienctific fact. Because of the nature of the IC engine the more efficent the fuel the more efficent the egnine. That why diesels get som much better mileage. Diesel produces about 139,000 BTU per gallon.
We own a flex fuel vehicle. I did experament when we first got it because I was curious. The mileage drop was about at the 25% mark on E85. I buy ethanol free gas and the lowest % of bio whenever possible. I never, ever run ethanol blended fuel in any samll engine. Every farmer I know including family can go broke before I buy ethanol based fuels. Explain to me why I should pay more to dive just so they can continue a corn bean rotation!
