Default Re: Ethanol blends

Correct. Ethanol is ethanol. I figure wires got twisted somewhere in that earlier post.

Corn based takes 3 gallons of gasoline equivalent to make 5 gallons of ethanol.

With swichgrass... that number may be 2 gallons of gas to make 5, due to less needs for tractors, irregation, etc. ( just a rough guess )

.

Gasabout $0.03/mi
Gasabout $0.06/mi
E85about $0.06/mi

WORLD RECORD MTE?
