The numbers in the first post do not make sense in conjunction with each other.
2/3 the energy and only 1-2% loss?
NOT!

I got an e-mail back from Huskey and they told me that my various questions (I asked lots) will be forwarded to the appropriate departments and that representatives in those departments will get back to me as soon as possible.
Still waiting.

Eddie's post is correct. Other conclusions are an abuse of algebra
That's the theory of course. How the E10 blend affects one car vs another is likely subject to many other factors.
Here's a fun tidbit - look up "Saab Biopower". For a few years now in Europe they've had models that crank up the boost when the car is running E85 for significant increases in power. Takes advantage of E85's high octane.

I "think" thats true for most E85 designed vehicles.
I know in the case of my 2.2 ecotec E85 it's rated higher HP with E85 than it is with E10. 4 or 5 HP more iirc.

We use alcohol [methanol] in the blown wheelstander.
It has high octane, but we need to DUMP a lot of fuel to get it to work. [compared to racing gas]
For E10 vs pure gas, the final result is the same - octane rating is octane rating. but there will be a hit on fuel economy.
Make no mistake, you need more volume of alcohol fuel than pure gas.
who is eddie?

Absolutely....slightly higher HP from E85, but lower MPG to get it.
And I would assume that only holds true for cars that were designed and programmed for E85. Or is it true in older vehicles as well?

The Saab engine gets 20% more hp on E85 than regular gas. A non-turbo engine can't do much more than advance the ignition, for a small but much less significant increase.

Well, we're not going to hear an update on the response from Husky, as StevieC has been banned for life from this site.
So, notwithstanding the things he did to get him booted, we will all lose out on the informatio Stevie worked very hard to contribute to this site!
But, of course, the management and mods just want what best for this site, right?
Bill always says this site should be based on facts, and one of the people who is getting the facts is blocked...good job!!!
