K-MO, did you type that right, I’m not understanding your claim there?
Most gasoline engines are most efficient for the price at an E25 blend, or 25% ethanol.
Can use poorer gasoline in the mix for less gas cost, ethanol is cheaper than gasoline; so the E25 should be quite cheap.
Then, ethanol burns with a cleaner flame front and more efficiently. So even if it has less btu per gallon, in an E25 blend it burns more efficiently, getting back to nearly the same useful energy per gallon.
Combined, it’s the best bang for the buck.
E15 is better than E10.
There is tons and tons and tons of data out there, it gets buried by Big Oil which hates sharing their pie with farmers, they work tirelessly to get rid of ethanol.
So, if we post something, you will discredit it anyhow.
People fall into 2 camps, pro-Big Oil or pro environment, cheaper fuel, more USA jobs.
Not much room for real facts.
Ethanol will not ever solve or replace all our energy needs. It is a product that helps stretch our fuel supplies, makes the exhaust a little bit cleaner, and is a better product. It works in existing vehicles, which no other ‘new cheap better’ energy source can. Like compressed natural gas, batteries, etc. - you need a whole new different infrastructure and car.
If we forced only E85 then we could use the properties of ethanol, tube the engine to be much more efficient, and really use ethanol fully; but that won’t happen and I’m not for it.
Ethanol at about E25 would be really cool and most helpful to our economy and pocketbooks and environment for the time being.
E15 is better then E10, which is better then just gasoline.
You do the research, look where the studies you see come from, dig deep, and you will find your info. If you sit back and ask for someone to hand you the info, you will get stuff straight from Big Oil or straight from an Ag group and you will just be picking opinions.
Personally I’ve seen the Ag groups more closely follow the true studies, but of course they and I probably have a feel-good goal in our minds too.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
