No you are lying again. The energy cost of producing

blend with their gasoline.



Please explain if that is true , why Congress has to mandate ethanal useage.
If it were really cheaper the oil companies would do it so they would make more money.






Yes that is how it saves money. It costs money and energy

to boost octane by converting low octane petroleum

fractions to higher octane fractions.
