I see.
Sounds kind of risky though. How do they know that people will get mad at ethanol and not get mad at Big Oil and the Democrats? But I guess they know what they're doing.
The gas mileage figures we get from the alcoholics for ethanol vary all over the map. You say the best mileage figures are better than pure gasoline for 10% ethanol but worse for 15%. I just read another pro-ethanol group claim that the best mileage (for certain cars) is around 40% ethanol.
I did did not say 15% got worse mileage, it is
E85 that gets worse mileage. 15% has about
109,000 btus and gets good mileage . E85 is not the same
and it has about 81,000 btus ....Here it comes....
.............E85 is 85% ethanol..........
I didn’t say Dems were doing it, they don’t what they
are doing, anymore than most REP. We had E85 here,
didn’t last long has people got upset with. Now alot
of them won’t even buy the 10%. Some in the oil companies don’t want to be bothered with ethanol, and
in essence said if it is any good it should go mainly
on its own, and we ended up with E85, which was
pushed at a lot of coop owned stations to start with.
Which leaves system screwy. Just put 10% in all you
can, no special engines, the computer advance timing
to account for higher octane.
Engines can be tuned and with right computer chips
burn up to 30-40% and gain a little.Ed
