Results in our Mercury Marquis with the 4.6 liter engine indicate that we burn AT LEAST as much gasoline using the ethanol blend as we did burning pure gasoline because of reduced mileage. So the ethanol portion of the fuel is totally wasted in that car. Sometimes the drop in mileage using “ten percent” ethanol is well over ten percent, sometimes I think it approaches twenty percent.
