Fact check:1 gallon of Ethanol = 80,184.2448 kilojoules
1 gallon of Gas = 122,481.434 kilojoules
That's a difference of 42,297.1892 kilojoules.Simple physics, your car gets worse mileage with ethanol every time.Here is what the EPA is not telling you:
Your car is supposed to burn ethanol like gas, but much less efficiently, however that assertion does not add up. Typically you will see between a 10% to up to 20% drop in mpg using ethanol with a 10% blend. Simple math says that if you drop 10% of your MPG by adding 10% ethanol, you are not burning the ethanol. A bigger drop would indicate that ethanol is actually preventing your car from burning the gas.
Common sense: since ethanol costs about as much as gas, and people are going to drive the same distance weather or not the gas has ethan
