Think Ethanol Will Help Your MPG? Think Again

Should you choose for regular traditional gas or traditional gas with ethanol if you have a choice to pay one or the other at the same price per gallon?
The answer is a simple matter of science. Conventional traditional 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 traditional 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 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 Missouri, we’re already there. Since January, E-10 has been required for regular and midgrade traditional gasoline
But experts say ethanol undoubtedly has an effect, since there is a connection between energy content and mileage.
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. 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 traditional 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 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.
I think the main point here is that ethanol is a lousy fuel source and there are better alternatives.
One of the best ways to go is with Water4Gas.
Benefits of becoming a member of Water4Gas and applying the technology W4G provides include primarily...
Reduced traditional gas consumption as high as thirty or even fifty percent or even higher. This percentage varies widely from one vehicle to another, naturally. But there seems to be a universally positive response from members as they see that their traditional gas consumption actually does go down.
The other benefit is the warm, fuzzy feeling that one gets when they know that they are helping the environment by not polluting it since their car's emissions are so much cleaner.
And also there is an opportunity to make more money by helping others get these great benefits of Water4Gas.
And there are other benefits.
Including the knowledge that you are one of the lucky ones that don't have to suffer as the traditional gas prices continue to soar!
