According to your numbers, ethanol is $2.77 a gallon wholesale. But since ethanol has only 70% the fuel value of gasoline it really costs $3.96 a gallon.
The current wholesale gasoline price is only about $2.40 a gallon.
That makes gasoline $1.56 cheaper than ethanol.
Were do you get wholesale price of gas that cheap.
My station guy only makes 15-20 cents gal.
Your mayh is stupid and has no reality to
the actual use of the ethanol/gas mixture.
And in the 10 % blend I burn, the cleaner burning
mix gives me an extra mile per gal in my V8s.
So the 70% of 1/10 of the mix is giving me gal with
135,000 BTUs instead of 140,000 BTUs for regular.
The loss everyone bitches about isn’t there.
It is another strawman issue put out by liars. The
cleaner burn gives little better mileage and less
emissions for cleaner air. Ed
Not to mention that if ethanol really was cheaper, he’d be using it to power his farm equipment.
You know, to lower his expenses.
It’s quite telling that he’s still using oil-based fuels to farm with.
