Ethanol has about 67% as much energy per gallon as gasoline. In theory, you would get about 67% as many MPG if you burned pure ethanol. A 10/90 ethanol/gasoline blend has about 3 to 4 percent less energy per gallon as straight gasoline. EPA tests confirm this same 3 to 4 percent reduction in mileage when this product is used. On the plus side, the ethanol blend has higher octane. You might save money if you use the blend instead of a straight higher octane gasoline - if your engine required higher octane. This depends on the price of the blend, of course.
