[QUOTE="Chris _Scott, post: 10646988, member: 71175"] Ethanol has a higher flash point/autoignition temperature and is a cooler fuel that also has a higher octane. So for performance purposes...it is a more desirable fuel. However it contains a lower BTU amount than conventional gasoline, so it doesn't have the energy content of conventional gasoline. It takes ~1.39 gallons of E85 to have the same energy content as gasoline. However that is purely speaking of energy content...tuners and manufacturers might be able to take advantage of the advantages of E85 [higher octane, cooler fuel] and make engines more efficient so that engines won't require as much BTU. I'm not all that familiar with production cars. [/QUOTE]
