]]> Comment on Branson on Aviation Consumers & Alternative Fuels by TheSUBWAY.com http://megansmirti.com/2008/01/06/branson-on-aviation-consumers-alternative-fuels/#comment-7 TheSUBWAY.com Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:19:15 +0000 http://megansmirti.com/2008/01/06/branson-on-aviation-consumers-alternative-fuels/#comment-7 We found an interesting article about the problems with Ethanol on ConsumerReports.org: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2008/03/ethanol-e85.html "But there are some problems with increasing ethanol blends. Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, so increasing the amount of ethanol in gasoline will likely result in lower fuel economy. Increasing standard fuel blends from zero to 10 percent ethanol, as is happening today, has little or no impact on fuel economy. In tests, the differences occur within the margin of error, about 0.5 percent. Further increasing ethanol levels to 20 percent reduces fuel economy between 1 and 3 percent, according to testing by the DOE and General Motors. Evaluations are underway to determine if E20 will burn effectively in today's engines without impacting reliability and longevity, and also assessing potential impact on fuel economy."
