Yeesh, I don't have time for this and you clearly require mental treatment. I will
go back to fixing imaginary fuel issues.
Reply from MARC:
For the first time, I think you inadvertently revealed the truth, you just want to
go back to "fixing imaginary fuel issues" (these are all your words).

Ethanol does have a higher octane but it has a lower BTU count, that's why you
get such poor mpg with it. I think corn based ethanol has been a failure in this
country.
Reply from MARC:
Tom - It's nice that you decided to try this message board, but BTUs have nothing to do with MPG.
And ethanol has not been a failure, it's been a great success. All you have to
do is go to any large city and look up. In fact, if you live in the L.A. area and you
can see the Hollywood Hills from LAX, thank ethanol. The skies over America
are the cleanest they've been in decades.
Good try, though.
Posted by BILL B (coming to TOM K's rescue):
The clear skies in L.A. are not a result of using ethanol. Unleaded gasoline,
better emission controls, more efficient automobile's, government standards
