An alternative could be for refiners to start making more E85, which is a blend of gasoline with 85 percent ethanol, Hill said.

The service manager of the local Government Motors dealership stated that GM told him that switching from E-85 to gasoline the user would increase their mileage by 30%.

Makes sense.

Ethanol has significantly less heat content per volume vs. gasoline.

With the huge increase in domestic oil and gas production, ethanol has become “yesterday’s fuel”

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...
