Man, there is a lot of bad info out there.

Ethanol has about 1/4 less btu per gallon, but it has somewhat better burn characteristics, so you lose perhaps 1/6 mpg on ethanol. That is a far cry from 1/2 as your friend claims.

His numbers would be right for methanol, but that is not the product being used these days.

There is a world of difference beween mthanol & ethanol, seems Big Oil has done a good job confusing people. Funny thing is, they are the one's who produce methanol & pollutied west cost groundwater with that stuff!

The Indy racing series had burned methanol for decades, but are switching to 10% ethanol this year, & 100% ethanol next year.
