Ethanol Will Crash Your MPG

Should you choose for regular conventional gas or conventional gas with ethanol if you have a choice to pay one or the other at the same price per gallon?
You might make the wrong decision if you did not know that you get more energy out of a gallon of regular conventional gas then out of a gallon that contains ethanol.
If it’s a gallon of E-10, which is a blend of 10 percent ethanol and conventional 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.
If it’s E-85, a blend containing 85 percent ethanol that can be used in specially equipped vehicles, the energy loss soars and more than offsets its lower cost, even though E-85 is about 60 cents per gallon less at retail than conventional conventional gas.
Even if ethanol-blended conventional 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.
The Bush energy bill of 2007 enforces a great increase in ethanol conventional gas and that means an even bigger impact, nationwide, on the MPG.
In Missouri, we’re already there. Since January, E-10 has been required for regular and midgrade conventional gasoline
But experts say ethanol undoubtedly has an effect, since there is a connection between energy content and mileage.
The AAA is now informing customers with a calculation of comparative costs, for instance, the national average pump price for the fuel on Thursday was $2.91 per gallon; regular conventional 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 conventional gas.
In fact, it’s now tough for ethanol, because of the energy loss, to be priced at a level so it can beat the price of conventional conventional gasoline. That’s because a growing share of the nation’s corn production is being diverted to producing ethanol, which has been a contributing factor in driving corn prices over $6 a bushel.
General Motors has manufactured over three million cars and SUVs that can use traditional conventional 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.
