Well... it usually helps some to look at something before you comment on it??? Not only did you blow my link off, you evidently failed to take the time to comprehend the material in YOUR links! (BTW- good finds! )

The studies mirror my experience with the stuff.

It is very safe to say that:

1) claims of fe reduction 1:1 with BTU content are false

2) one should not automatically assume that the presence of ethanol will lower fe

3) non flex-fuel vehicles can function quite well on far higher ethanol blends than E10.

Now what is all that about the Chevy? I didn't see any "excitement" about it.
