What is a BTU?
British Thermal Unit-standard tool to measure energy content
1-BTU = approx. Energy content of a kitchen match
E85 contains 73% of BTUs as unleaded on arithmetic basis
E85 = 83,263 BTUsGasoline = 114,000 BTUs# 2 diesel = 129,000 BTUs
Cost of E85
Yes! A lower energy content results in lower mileage. Gasoline vehicles don’t travel as far as the same diesel powered vehicles.
Hence, gasoline is generally cheaper than diesel.
It follows, that
E85 MUST be cheaper than unleaded gasoline.
Mileage of E85 vs. Gasoline
Range of mileage loss has been reported to be 5 to 20%
Mileage loss, depending on the vehicle and the driver, tire inflation, etc. all play major role
