Water4Gas Vs Ethanol – Who Wins?

By: GARKO

So you come to the gas station and you have an option to get gas with or without ethanol. Which do you pick?
You might make the wrong decision if you did not know that you get more energy out of a gallon of regular 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 gas now widely available in many city areas, there’s an energy difference of about 3.4 percent.
Now that may not seem like much when you’re topping off the tank this week. But over the course of a year of normal driving, it would take an additional 40 gallons of E-10 to go the same distance as conventional gas. If they were both priced the same, it would mean an extra $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.
The Bush energy bill of 2007 enforces a great increase in ethanol gas and that means an even bigger impact, nationwide, on the MPG.
In Kansas, there is no requirement to sell fuel with ethanol, but more than 50 percent of the gasoline sold in the state now contains ethanol. That is expected to increase next year when gas retailers in the state that sell E-10 will be eligible for tax credits.
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.
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 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 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.
