Blending ethanol into gasoline is somewhat equivalent to mixing chaff with flour and making bread. It makes the flour go further, but the bread has fewer calories.

There is no free lunch.

EtOH has less energy content than does gasoline. Last year I noticed that my Highway mileage dropped from 30 to 27 MPG, but I am paying the same, or more.

It's feel-good scam at present.

It's feel-good scam at present.

I recently read an article where automotive companies get credits for flexible fuel vehicles. Apparently, automakers have to meet a CAFE standard which mandates an average MPG for all vehicles produced.

A loophole is that flexible fuel vehicles are assumed to be running on 90% ethanol full time

The way the math worked, a Hummer gets 35 MPG (on gasoline).

Mind you, I do support alternatnative fuel/ power sources; only if they meet real objectives and goals.
