Many people want to know what fuel is actually better for your engine and which fuel gets you better gas mileage. The two that I am working with are ethanol and ethanol free. Ethanol supposedly does nothing more than clog small engine based machines, it doesn’t necessarily clog the engine. It clogs the carburetor in the small machine. So the real question is, “what does ethanol do to our larger engines?” The truth is, that ethanol can actually be really good for an engine, this is only for mechanically improved engine. This type of engine is in newer cars, if a vehicle has an engine like this, then you should see a little leaf on the side that says “flex-fuel”. When you are running an ethanol mixture of fuel, in an efficiency flex fuel engine …show more content…
Because your engine setup is built for no ethanol. If your vehicle does not have a flex fuel gas cap, and you put no ethanol gas into it, you will have better performance and mileage. Your choices of fuel are, “ethanol free, Regular synergy, plus, and the supreme.” Ethanol free is a fuel that does not contain ethanol. A study shows that E10 lowers the mileage approximately 3 percent. Minus three percent off of your mileage will bring It off by 0.6 of a mile. Blending ethanol and gasoline at a ratio of 85 percent to 15 percent is called E85, the blended fuel is nearly thirty percent less powerful than pure gasoline. Ethanol is similar in acceleration, power, and cruising ability, but ethanol miles per gallon are less than pure gasoline. Ethanol is alcohol, and alcohol causes corrosion in the fuel system. Metal parts rust and plastic parts become deformed or cracked because of the ethanol. Ethanol is not an ideal fuel additive, and older cars especially have problems with an ethanol mixture of fuel. gasoline blended with ethanol burns cleaner than pure gasoline. Ethanol cuts a car’s greenhouse gas emissions. The second reason is that ethanol comes from corn, which is big business. Agribusiness is a powerful lobby in Washington and with environmentalists siding with them on this
