Will You USE Blended Ethanol Gas in Your Car? Will it help?

[Rocket]

Fun facts

Btus per gallon

Ethanol 76,330 BTU / Gallon
Conventional gasoline 116,090 BTU / Gallon

76,330/116,090=0.6575

A 33% difference

Will or does the price reflect that?

Does miles per gallon reflect that....

Mileage does. A car's mpg keeps dropping with each added bit of ethanol. My daily driver's mileage drops 1 mpg with E10.

Same 1 mpg drop between Summer and Winter gas.

Summer E-0 to Winter E10 is a 2 mpg swing [in a 17 mpg SUV].

If you can't buy straight gas locally, you can remove the ethanol using a large jug, water and food dye.

You need to do this if you ever plan to store a car for months.

In the Fall, I drive the other car to 1/4 tank or less, add 5 gallons of 93 that I've removed the ethanol from, and add a splash of Stabil.

It's a lot of hassle. And all that just so we can increase our dependence on oil, hurt the environment, and make gas more expensive. It hardly seems worth it.
