How To Crash Your MPG? Use Ethanol

So you come to the traditional gas station and you have an option to get traditional gas with or without ethanol. Which do you pick?
The answer is a simple matter of science. Conventional traditional gas delivers more energy than a gallon that contains ethanol.
If the traditional gas with ethanol is E-10 which is available now in many markets around the USA then there is 10% ethanol in that traditional gas and 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 traditional gas.
Even if ethanol-blended traditional 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 Kansas, there is no requirement to sell fuel with ethanol, but more than 50 percent of the traditional gasoline sold in the state now contains ethanol. That is expected to increase next year when traditional gas retailers in the state that sell E-10 will be eligible for tax credits.
Many drivers say their mileage has declined 10 percent or more since they began using E-10.
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 traditional gasoline was $3.56. But adjusted for its energy content, the price for E-85 jumps to $3.83, or 27 cents more than regular.
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 traditional 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 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.
