Does ethanol fuel decrease fuel economy?
Here's the thing: Ethanol has less energy per gallon than gasoline and diesel, so for a given power output an engine will use more ethanol than it would have used diesel or gasoline. Miles per gallon will be poorer. But that's not the whole story. Ethanol - being considered more eco-friendly - is often a lot less expensive than diesel and gasoline. So even if you're using more of it, the cost-per-mile can be lower than for gasoline or diesel.
Why does E85 get less mpg then gas?
The internal combustion engine converts heat to motion or kinetic energy. Since ethanol has less "heat" than gasoline per gallon the fuel mileage will be less. Heat content of conventional gasoline = 115,500 Btu/gallon Heat content of ethanol = 76,000 Btu/gallon E85 is a blend of 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol so you can expect a drop in MPG of 20% or more.

How much does a gallon of aviation fuel cost the airlines?
Current prices, which have risen some 60% in the past year, range from $4.50 to $5.50 and up per gallon for Jet A. Some carriers who were able to hedge their fuel purchases (by buying future fuel at fixed costs) may be paying much less. The military also pays less for their fuel. I think today's military fuel may only cost around $3.50 per gallon.
