Re: People are IDIOTS! - E85

E85, which is 85 percent ethanol, emits less smog-producing pollutants than gasoline, but provides fewer miles per gallon, costs more, and is hard to find outside the Midwest.

e-85 also burns faster, hotter and produces more enegry per charge that gasoline.

the only downside is that you need 30% more.


if you take 2 cars with the exact same setup only one runs e-85 tuned for it, and the other runs gasoline. the car running e-85 will produce more power but will use 30% more.


dollors per mile are about the same e85 being slighly lower, but the e85 makes more power at the same settings, but it allows for more boost or compression

so emissions are better, hence cleaner.
as fore efficiency it depends on what your arguing
