Considering that E85 doesn't have the alcohol tax because it is denatured so it's quite a bit cheaper than drinkable alcohol... I think the people who drink it are getting ripped off!  |
Ok, I went way off-topic here. The $28/gallon was the price I paid for vodka for my Halloween party. My point is that I can't imagine drinking ethanol costs 9x more to produce than engine burning ethanol. Now, I realize there are more taxes on drinking alcohol, and the process may be more expensive due to cost of materials and sanitation, etc, but 9x is quite a big difference.
Question- In the US, is a gallon of E85 taxed at the same rate as E10? I mean, if we are getting less MPG, I would also want less TPG (taxes per gallon).
