Almost. Ethanol has 30% less BTUs than gas. So, at e-85 (85% ethanol) you would get 25.5% less mileage. There is no way around this. Basically what you get is a nearly 26% increase in cost tho...

My mpg meter in the car only shows a 10% reduction when I check things out. Others think e85 is great too when they check it out this way.

BUT, when I crunch the numbers it is a 30% reduction. For some reason the auto computers are lying to us........
