17. What is a BTU? British Thermal Unit- standard tool to measure energy content 1-BTU = approx. Energy content of a kitchen match E85 contains 73% of BTUs as unleaded on arithmetic basis E85 = 83,263 BTUs Gasoline = 114,000 BTUs # 2 diesel = 129,000 BTUs

18. Cost of E85 Yes! A lower energy content results in lower mileage. Gasoline vehicles don’t travel as far as the same diesel powered vehicles. Hence, gasoline is generally cheaper than diesel. It follows, that E85 MUST be cheaper than unleaded gasoline.

19. Mileage of E85 vs. Gasoline Range of mileage loss has been reported to be 5 to 20% Mileage loss, depending on the vehicle and the driver, tire inflation, etc. all play major role
