Ethanol Sucks Your MPG

Quick… you have a choice to buy gas with Ethanol of gas without ethanol for the same price? Which do you pick?
The answer is a simple matter of science. Conventional gas delivers more energy than a gallon that contains ethanol.
If it’s a gallon of E-10, which is a blend of 10 percent ethanol and conventional gas now widely available in many city areas, there’s an energy difference of about 3.4 percent.
Over the course of a year that incurs an extra expense of $120.
Mileage can suffer by about 25 percent with E-85, according to AAA. Over the course of a year, that amounts to an extra 300 gallons of E-85 to go the same distance as when using conventional gas.
Even if ethanol-blended gas is cheaper, it can still end up costing you more because you’re getting less energy. That fact has not been made clear to people. In effect, you can end up paying more for less.
Moreover, the ethanol impact is expected to increase because the federal government approved an energy bill last year that encourages a sharp increase in ethanol production.
In Missouri, we’re already there. Since January, E-10 has been required for regular and midgrade gasoline
Experts say it’s difficult to blame E-10 for that much of a decline.
AAA now calculates a price for E-85 to adjust for its energy content. The national average pump price for the fuel on Thursday was $2.91 per gallon; regular gasoline was $3.56. The AAA calculation considering the energy content jumped the ethanol price up to $3.83 though which was twenty-seven cents more than the regular gas.
The energy economics of ethanol are a matter of concern to automakers such as General Motors Corp., which is counting on ethanol-fueled cars to give it time to develop other cars that can use other alternative fuels such as hydrogen.
General Motors has manufactured over three million cars and SUVs that can use traditional gas or E-84 but they are also expessing concern over the price competitiveness of E-85 with the energy factor considered.
Really the bottom line is that ethanol is just a lousy idea for an alternative fuel and there are better solutions for sure.
