Facts are facts. Either find me a viable alternative reason or accept it as it is.

I repeated it 4 times with the exact same results. tell me what I did wrong? I measured the fill to within 1/2 cup accuracy.

I am not disputing the energy content of the fuel. in the "tirade" you so conveniently skipped I explained it and I will explain it AGAIN

Energy is not relevant. HOW MUCH OF THAT ENERGY YOU CAN EXTRACT is relevant.

You could have all the energy in the universe but with no way to tap it ...

My point is I believe these cars can NOT properly utilize the energy in the ethanol and in fact the ethanol is so detrimental to the operation of the vehicle that it interferes with its basic operability meaning it can not even fully utilize the energy in the gasoline because of the interference of the ethanol.

WHAT ELSE would explain this result? remember once again this is not a "one off" result. I can repeat this over and over again any time I want.
