New PFI and GDI

Does the use of ethanol reduce fuel economy relative to conventional gasoline? Yes. The consumption of fuel relative to miles/kilometers traveled is directly related to the energy content. Conventional gasoline has an average energy content of 114,000 BTU/gallon. But, energy content of conventional gasoline can vary up to 7 percent
