I AM NOT SURE ABOUT HOW MUCH SUGAR CANE IT TAKES, BUT IT TAKES A 5X7 AREA OF CORN TO PRODUCE 1 GAL OF ETHANOL.
When gas contains 10 percent ethanol how much ethanol is in a gallon of gas?
For every gallon of gas containing 10% ethanol (referred to as E10 gas), it will contain 1/10th gallon of ethanol (about 12 ounces by volume). Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it).
How much ethanol does fermenting 100g of sugar produce?
Ethanol produces around 80% by fermenting 100g of sugar produce.
How much ethanol is in gas?

How much corn does it take to make a gallon of ethanol?

How much does a gasoline ethanol blend weight per gallon if the ratio per gallon is 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol?
Around 6 lbs. Depends on temperature and elevation.
Why do you get fewer miles per gallon from a gallon of ethanol than from a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline enriched with ethanol contains more oxygen - so it burns cleaner and much faster than regular gasoline. Which means it increase the power of your car.
How much does one gallon of ethanol weigh?
The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm3, or 0.789 kg per liter.There are 3.7854 liters per gallon, so 1 gallon of ethanol weighs 2.987 kg.There are 2.2046 lbs per kilogram, so 1 gallon of ethanol weighs 6.584 lbs.Compare that with the weight of 1 gallon of water: 8.3454 lbs
How much does e85 weigh per gallon?
E85 is a mixture of 85% ethanol alcohol and 15% gasoline. 1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs 1 gallon of ethanol equals 6.59 lbs. The weight of ethanol is approximentally: 7.46 lbs to 7.565 depending on the composition of the gasoline used in the E85.
How much does ethanol cost?
There is not one constant answer to this. The market on ethanol changes every day. See the link to the Ethanol Market page below to follow up today's prices and recent trends.
How many miles per gallon less with ethanol enhanced gasoline?
Expect around a 15% decline in fuel mileage over conventional gasoline. Ok, so if I'm paying $4.00 / gallon for 10 % ethanol gas and loosing 15 % mileage that means if I can find 100 % gasoline with no ethanol at $4.60 / gallon I'm getting basically the same thing. So if I pay $4.10 / gallon for real gas without ethanol, I just saved $.50 / gallon over the ethanol low output gas. This should make shopping allot easier, as long as the stations are required to post how much ethanol they are selling versus real gas.
