Putting your voodoo math to the side, how many miles does your vehicle get per BTU in the tank? Is that significantly better than an unmodified Mustang? Comparing BTUs on the flexfuel Mustang to BTUs on a stocker from some McDonald's parking lot, apples to apples.

Don't start parcing out content percentages, just come straight out and tell us: on a fillup of X gallons of liquid fuel, how many miles? Just declare without any qualifications, a full tank of (fuel) yields _______miles.

I'm assuming that if I were to take your car, put in 3 gallons of 100% gasoline, it would not go 300 miles. I also don't believe that it would cover the same 300 miles on E85. Can you refute these assumptions without turning to your obfuscatory math and qualifying statements?
