dleroux,
Thank you for the data about Gasoline vs. Ethanol (E100) vs. Ethanol (E85).
The Petroleum Refinery Engineer was exactly correct. E100 has 33% less BTU compared to gasoline. E85 has 28% less BTU compared to gasoline.
The comparison in gallons of fuel makes it even more evident.
Diesel (1 gallon) = 137,381 BTUs. That amount does not take into account how a diesel engine is more efficient (more miles per gallon).
Mark.
