My comments on ethanol contain no myth, only facts. The fact is that ethanol contains 2/3 of the energy per volume as gasoline. The expenditure of energy is the only method of performing work (driving). The conclusion of less MPG follows from the true premise of the substantially lower energy content of ethanol.

Please do not spread any myth that is contrary to science and logic. Should you disagree with the facts I have presented, the burden lies on you to debunk them with evidence.
