Gas mileage of ethanol-added gasoline?

THE ETHANOL PART IS STILL CARBON NEUTRAL!

But the net result is that more CO2 is released from burning fuel with ethanol.

The secondary effects most people miss....

In other words, ethanol based fuels release more CO2 into the atmosphere than straight gasoline.

The net result is a small percentage of carbon is released into the atmo from the ethanol, since 6 weeks prior, it was inside of a plant, and within 6 weeks, most of it will be back inside of a plant.

And then someone will smoke said plant.

I don't even know WTF you are talking about.

The effect is releasing 46% more CO2 into the atmosphere in ethanol added gasoline.

I'm sure you don't know WTF I'm talking about, which is why you should read more about climatology, ecology, and biology; before engaging in discussions related to carbon emissions; which is based wholly on sequestration and release rates.

I provided the numbers, did the equations that a 6th grader can understand, and YOU are the stupid-looking one.

Get educated!

I am not arguing with you on that one lone point. The overall effect is putting more CO2 into the atmosphere for the same driving distance with ethanol based fuel.
