Re: New Ethanol Study

Well, here is a quote from the actual test rather than
Truck Trend's comments.
-
The three vehicles averaged 1.5% lower mileage with E10, 2.2% lower mileage with E20, 5.1% lower mileage with E30.
Just as expected....more ethanol, less fuel mileage.
The heading of the article is misleading. The only ethanol
blend that consistently gave better fuel mileage was
a special blend formulated for the test.
(E10AK) Unleaded with 10% ethanol denatured with iso-pentane and bio-diesel
