How about ending ALL tax breaks for corporations - including ethanol, solar and all "green" energy?
Q. Let everyone compete on a level playing field. I doubt the result will be to the Liberals' liking.

A. Deal. Any special break or subsidy enjoyed by one person or company that is not enjoyed by another is contrary to free markets.

I am watching a show on the Science Channel called "Futurecar". I have a question about ethanol vehicles.
Q. This show says you can convert your car to take E85 fuel (85% Ethanol) for around $100. How? Where can I get this done? And last if I dont have an E85 station anywhere close can I still use regular gasoline?

A. Yes a flex-fuel car (which is capable of using ethanol blends) can also run on pure gasoline. You should give this a lot of consideration before making the conversion though. Ethanol doesn't benefit anybody except corn farmers. It costs a bit less per gallon than gasoline, but ethanol also has a lower energy density, meaning you have to buy 4 gallons of E85 to go the same distance as 3 gallons of pure gasoline, so in the end it costs you more. Plus studies have shown that because the increased demand for ethanol would cause forestland to be cut down to grow corn, it actually contributes more to global warming than gasoline. And ethanol also drives up the price of the food crops since we're also using them for fuel. So basically everybody… [cont.]

Can we find a better word for certain energy resources than "renewable"?
Q. Yesterday I cruised Yahoo's best answers and saw a question about the most efficient renewable resources. The answer chosen as best may have been the best of those given. I wasn't much impressed. To me the word "renewable" applies to corn-based ethanol, switch grass and the like. When one brings up wind, geothermal, electromagnetic, solar, tidal, hydroelectric, or any reliably recurring natural force, the term "virtually unlimited" strikes me as being more accurate. This answerer had abandoned hydroelectric because it kills fish. If current methods of tapping this resource kill fish, let's fix our methods, not give up on the resource. Same with solar power.

Is Ethanol being used as a 10% "stretcher" in all gasoline octane levels or just regular?
Q. I know that Ethanol is being used as a "stretcher" by most major gasoline companies. I know that the Ethanol actually reduces your miles per gallon.

It seems the 10 cents more for plus around here would actually be worth it for me if I get even an extra .5 - 1 mile per gallon more.

A. All grades. Actually, Ethanol is used as an oxygenator, to help improve the combustion so there's less tail-pipe emissions. The other alternative, MTBE, was phased out by California, as MTBE is corrosive and long-term effects doesn't look good. It'd be easier to save fuel by checking your tires a properly tuning up your vehicles.

How can I tell if ethanol, or E85, is "actually" cheaper to use than gas?
Q. I know that ethanol is less efficient than gas, therefore you have to fill up more often and get less mpg. So my question is, is there some type of formula to tell if it is indeed cheaper to use E85 as opposed to gas by their current price gap?
Asked by Scotty R - Mon Jun 30 12:09:52 2008 - Commuting - 2 Answers - Comments
A. The typical decrease in mileage when using E-85 is 27%. To calculate your mileage on E-85 take your current mileage and multiply by .27. The number you get from that you will then subtract from your current mpg. Example: 15mpg (gas)X0.27= 4.05 15-4.05= 11.95mpg (E-85) Now get the prices for both gas and E-85. Choose a distance for instance how many miles you drive a week. Divide that by your mpg, you'll need to do it twice once with gas mpg and once with E-85 mpg. This will tell you how many gallons you will use for that distance Example: Distance: 300 miles Gas mpg: 15mpg 300 miles/15mpg= 20 gallons of gas Distance: 300 miiles E-85 mpg: 11.95mpg 300 miles/11.95mpg= 25 gal (rounded) of E-85 After you figure out how many gallons you will… [cont.]

Q. I know that ethanol is less efficient than gas, therefore you have to fill up more often and get less mpg. So my question is, is there some type of formula to tell if it is indeed cheaper to use E85 as opposed to gas by their current price gap?

A. The typical decrease in mileage when using E-85 is 27%. To calculate your mileage on E-85 take your current mileage and multiply by .27. The number you get from that you will then subtract from your current mpg. Example: 15mpg (gas)X0.27= 4.05 15-4.05= 11.95mpg (E-85) Now get the prices for both gas and E-85.

What happens if you put Ethanol (like E85) in a car that is not rated as "flex fuel" capable?
Q. The other day I saw they added a E85 pump at my local gas station and wondered about what would happen if I filled up my car w/it (a 04 BMW 325i) which I'm pretty sure is not rated as "flex fuel" capable

A. it definetly is not flex fuel capable. i would run it down to 3/4 tank and fill up with regular gas. run a little more and add more gas. it probably wont do anything if it is just one time. repeatedly it will harm your whole fuel system.
