As a service manager, you should also understand that ethanol has significantly lower energy density per volume than gasoline.

Actually he basically said that. My reply to his post was because I misread it. We all agree that ethanol in the fuel lowers efficiency, or MPG if we were talking about cars. Bottom line is that ethanol in gas has no known benefits except welfare for corn growers.

Funny you say that because the only people I find who like ethanol are my corn growing relatives.

I am guessing that from a price standpoint the lower energy value is made up for by the premium charged for non-ethanol.
