Definitely yes, - about 10%. Because the ethanol contains less energy than hydrocarbon loaded gasoline.

What homemade additive can you add to gasoline to get better mileage?

Fuel additives are used to improve an automobile's environmental performance and increase its mileage. Some homemade fuel additives are ethanol and a mixture of acetone, xylene and cycle oil.


Is a 10 bolt rear end better for gas mileage than a 12 bolt?

10 bolt or 12 bolt has NOTHING to do with gas mileage. It is the gear ratio that is inside of the rear end housing that affects the mileage. The lower the gear the lower the fuel mileage is. The higher the gear, better the fuel mileage is.


What is a major drawback of ethanol?

Two drinks and I have to get a taxi home. As an energy source, the process of concentrating ethanol consumes a lot of energy. It depends on who you believe, but the amount of energy consumed may exceed the amount of energy in the ethanol created. If that's so, then ethanol may be a useful form of energy (in the same was as electricity is), but not a useful source of energy.


Can ethanol be used as fuel and what are its benefits compared to traditional gasoline?

Yes, ethanol can be used as fuel. Its benefits compared to traditional gasoline include being renewable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially lower cost.


What is a better fuel propanol or ethanol?

Ethanol is generally considered a better fuel than propanol due to its higher energy content, lower toxicity, and compatibility with existing fuel infrastructure. Ethanol is a widely used biofuel for vehicles and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions when compared to traditional gasoline.


What special features do RAV4 cars have?

RAV4 vehicles feature off roading, high fuel mileage, and Flex fuel, which allows you to use up to 85% ethanol in them. They also have a spacious interior.


What is the best fuel treatment for a Geo 97?

Techron to clean fuel injectors, spark plugs etc. If you're trying to improve gas mileage, use gas with no ethanol. Also, you can add 2 fl. oz of pure acetone per 10 gallons (they have it at Walmart for $1). It increased the overall gas mileage in my 1996 1.3 metro automatic about 4%. If I use 10% ethanol fuel however, acetone has no effect, and my gas mileage drops from 42 to 37 mpg (with or without acetone added).

Better fuel mileage. Lower maintenance costs. Lower emissions (less pollution).


Is ethanol gas bad for a 2002 zx2?

Only a 10% mixture like the kind you would buy at most fuel stations. Remember ethanol blends do not give the mileage a non blend would. Read your book that comes with the car.


Does the egr valve have anything to do with the gas mileage?

A malfunctioning EGR valve can definitely lower fuel economy.


Can you use isopropyl alcohol versus ethanol for fuel?

Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) and ethanol can both be used as fuels, but they have different properties and efficiencies. Ethanol is more commonly used in fuel applications, such as in gasoline blends, due to its higher energy content and better combustion characteristics. Isopropyl alcohol, while it can be used as a fuel, typically has lower energy density and is less effective for large-scale fuel applications. Additionally, regulations and availability may favor ethanol over isopropyl alcohol for fuel use.
