Default Re: If You Run a Gas Boat You Need to Take Action

I was an auto tech for years.. Ethanol is 40% less efficient than gasoline... In other words, if you get 20 mpg in a car on 1 gallon of gasoline, you will only get 12 mpg on straight ethanol... So yes, you will get a mile or two a gallon less on 10% ethanol/gasoline , because 10% of the fuel in your tank has a 40% loss of efficiency.. I hope that makes sense... bob
