You forgot that the U.S. Government has octane rating and this covers
everything
you say and burniability of the fuel. 87 Octane Gasohol or 87 Octane Gas have
the same burniability as each other. If it was not the same it would have a
less
or more of a Octane rating on it.

I like your theory on Octane rating being different for Gasohaol and regular gas
and you need to discuss this with the DOT of your state and have them change the
Octane rating to reflect the less power from Alcohol gas than regular unleaded
gas. I think they would be interesed in your theory here.

Turtle, better check some more on what octane rating really is...it is
not a measure of the specific energy of the fuel...there is no rating
of "burniability" even if there were such a word...
