I saw an article in one of the auto rags I read that suggested the opposite. The ethanol burns more completely. The article also said that it had sort of a catalyst effect on the petro fuel part making it burn more completely as well. Maybe the efficiency of the burn makes up for the lower BTU? In any case it is locally produced and renewable - gotta love it. If it is available find a way to make it work. |
