What is a BTU?
British Thermal Unitstandard 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
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.
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
