K-MO, did you type that right, I’m not understanding your claim there?

Most gasoline engines are most efficient for the price at an E25 blend, or 25% ethanol.

Can use poorer gasoline in the mix for less gas cost, ethanol is cheaper than gasoline; so the E25 should be quite cheap.

Then, ethanol burns with a cleaner flame front and more efficiently. So even if it has less btu per gallon, in an E25 blend it burns more efficiently, getting back to nearly the same useful energy per gallon.

Combined, it’s the best bang for the buck.

E15 is better than E10.

There is tons and tons and tons of data out there, it gets buried by Big Oil which hates sharing their pie with farmers, they work tirelessly to get rid of ethanol.

So, if we post something, you will discredit it anyhow.

People fall into 2 camps, pro-Big Oil or pro environment, cheaper fuel, more USA jobs.

Not much room for real facts.

Ethanol will not ever solve or replace all our energy needs. It is a product that helps stretch our fuel supplies, makes the exhaust a little bit cleaner, and is a better product. It works in existing vehicles, which no other ‘new cheap better’ energy source can. Like compressed natural gas, batteries, etc. - you need a whole new different infrastructure and car.

If we forced only E85 then we could use the properties of ethanol, tube the engine to be much more efficient, and really use ethanol fully; but that won’t happen and I’m not for it.

Ethanol at about E25 would be really cool and most helpful to our economy and pocketbooks and environment for the time being.

E15 is better then E10, which is better then just gasoline.

You do the research, look where the studies you see come from, dig deep, and you will find your info. If you sit back and ask for someone to hand you the info, you will get stuff straight from Big Oil or straight from an Ag group and you will just be picking opinions.

Personally I’ve seen the Ag groups more closely follow the true studies, but of course they and I probably have a feel-good goal in our minds too.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
