How would the energy content per gram of gasohol compare to that of plain gasoline?

Gasohol would have less energy per gram than Gasoline. which is why E85 or flex fuel cars get better mileage with regular gasoline than E85 gas. it is also why some gas stations have "better gas" than others. some companies put more ethanol in their regular gas than others, all while staying under the 10% limit regulated by law.

What is the difference between biomass and gasohol?
Biomass is an organic matter that can be a source of energy. Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and alcohol that is used as a fuel.
What is the major drawback to using only biomass or gasohol for energy?
fuel
Gasoline engine convert chemical energy into kinetic energy. true or false?
A gasoline engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.
Why is gasoline a chemical energy?
Gasoline is a combination of several hydrocarbons which when oxidized (chemical reaction) release heat energy.
What gasoline is a energy source?
every gasoline is... but they are maid up of fossil fules
What is the difference between biomass and gasohol?
Biomass is an organic matter that can be a source of energy. Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and alcohol that is used as a fuel.
How much energy can gasoline produce?
According to Wikipedia, "Gasoline contains about 42.4 MJ/kg ... Gasoline blends differ, and therefore actual energy content varies... by up to 4% more or less than the average" Please note that that's the energy content per kilogram of gasoline; only a fraction of this is converted into useful energy in a car engine.
If you heat gasoline does the BTU's of it rise?
In a word, No... The energy content stays the same.
Why is gasohol efficient?
It's not. The energy density is lower than gasoline (Less distance per litre)), the production requires more energy than gasoline (everything from farming, fertilizing, fermenting and distillation), the emissions of unburned material may be more toxic. Best of all it takes food out of the food supply.
What is the major drawback to using only biomass or gasohol for energy?
fuel
How does the amount of work done on an automobile by its engine relate to the energy content of the gasoline?
Energy conversion is the changing of one form of energy into another or into work, such as that in the combustion process.
What energy source might involve burning wood or producing gasohol?
Biomass
Can octane or gasoline be made from faecal sludge?
I don't think it would be practical. Usually you would try to make gasoline, or a substitute, out of something that actually has a significant energy content. Otherwise, you would need to invest a lot of energy in the conversion.
How much gasoline is 5625000 pounds of rocket fuel?
How much energy is in one gallon of gas, compare this to quantity of energy in one gallon of rocket fuel, voila, your answer!!!
What type of energy is gasoline?
Gasoline is potential energy.
Is gasoline matter or energy?
gasoline is matter, it is burned to create energy
What kind of energy does Gasoline Have?
The energy released from gasoline when it is used in a gasoline engine is chemical energy.
