<DIV> The addition of ethanol
compromises vehicle mileage, just as you have experienced. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> From a consumer point of
view, the consumer pays more $/BTU for ethanol gasoline than $/BTU for
gasoline without ethanol. From a political point of view, we have happy
corn farmers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> As
energy scientists search for alternative fuels, one of
the challenges is finding a fuel source that provides as much energy per
gallon as gasoline and diesel. </DIV>

driven about 5500 miles so far in the past couple weeks and tried various
brands. I noted this: when the alcohol is added from a SHELL station the
mileage drops between 2-4 miles per gallon. Other brands of all kinds that say
they add the alcohol make almost no difference. Anybody ready to comment
of this?<BR>--<BR>Never be beaten by
