Should you choose for regular conventional gas or conventional gas with ethanol if you have a choice to pay one or the other at the same price per gallon?



The answer is a simple matter of science. Conventional conventional gas delivers more energy than a gallon that contains ethanol.

If it's a gallon of E-10, which is a blend of 10 percent ethanol and conventional conventional gas now widely available in many city areas, there's an energy difference of about 3.4 percent.

Over the course of a year that incurs an extra expense of $120.

If it's E-85, a blend containing 85 percent ethanol that can be used in specially equipped vehicles, the energy loss soars and more than offsets its lower cost, even though E-85 is about 60 cents per gallon less at retail than conventional conventional gas.

Even if ethanol-blended conventional gas is cheaper, it can still end up costing you more because you're getting less energy. That fact has not been made clear to people. In effect, you can end up paying more for less.

The Bush energy bill of 2007 enforces a great increase in ethanol conventional gas and that means an even bigger impact, nationwide, on the MPG.

In Missouri, we're already there. Since January, E-10 has been required for regular and midgrade conventional gasoline

Experts say it's difficult to blame E-10 for that much of a decline.

The AAA is now informing customers with a calculation of comparative costs, for instance, the national average pump price for the fuel on Thursday was $2.91 per gallon; regular conventional gasoline was $3.56. But adjusted for its energy content, the price for E-85 jumps to $3.83, or 27 cents more than regular.

In fact, it's now tough for ethanol, because of the energy loss, to be priced at a level so it can beat the price of conventional conventional gasoline. That's because a growing share of the nation's corn production is being diverted to producing ethanol, which has been a contributing factor in driving corn prices over $6 a bushel.

So far, GM has produced 3 million vehicles that can use conventional fuel or E-85. The price of E-85 needs to at least be competitive, after being adjusted for its energy content, with conventional conventional gas to ensure that more of it is used, the automaker says.

I think the main point here is that ethanol is a lousy fuel source and there are better alternatives.

Water4Gas offers one of the best solutions .

The advantages that Water4Gas members are happy to reap from their membership are basically these...

Increased fuel economy as high as thirty or even fifty percent or even higher. This percentage varies widely from one vehicle to another, naturally. But there seems to be a universally positive response from members as they see that their conventional gas consumption actually does go down.

The other benefit is the warm, fuzzy feeling that one gets when they know that they are helping the environment by not polluting it since their car's emissions are so much cleaner.

Additonally paid members can become affiliates and make more money by spreading the good news about Water4Gas.

There are other benefits, besides.

Including the knowledge that you are one of the lucky ones that don't have to suffer as the conventional gas prices continue to soar!
