Surprising increase in truck MPG
RCM only
On Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:56:31 -0400, with neither quill nor qualm,
clare at snyder dot ontario dot canada quickly quoth:
10% ethanol costs you 5% in power because ethanol has half the
btu/gallon (roughly) of straight gasoline.
If you know one fas is E10, and the other is E0 (straight gasoline)
you are just as far ahead paying $4.20 a gallon of the E) as $4.00 per
gallon for E10.
That 5% power loss results in a 10-11.5% fuel economy decrease in both
trucks I've driven with both fuels. shrug
