The reason why you get 20-25% less mileage is because ethanol burns at a lower BTU than regular gasoline, it takes more to get the same heat. Personally I don't see a *** thing wrong with the 25% mileage drop. Ethanol is a renewable fuel, gas/oil is not. I still don't see why you people have a problem with it. You **** and moan and fly off the handle about terrorists learning how to shut down a locomotive, yet you still pull up to the pump and burn regular gas. WTF? If you have a flex-fuel vehicle, I'd suggest you use more E-85 and keep your money domestic.
