Avoiding ethanol will raise gas prices:
by Ron V. Lamberty -- Detroit News -- 6-25-04
"Contrary to the advice offered in the May 19 Detroit News, "Get the most at the pump," choosing gasoline without ethanol will not save motorists money. In fact, using less ethanol would likely lead to even higher prices at the pump.
The 10 percent ethanol blend (E10) used by many motorists contains almost the same energy content as unleaded gasoline (111,000 btu per gallon compared with 114,000 btu per gallon). However, because other properties of ethanol help gasoline burn more completely, that variance does not translate directly to gas mileage."
