you know, fellas, of all the places in the world it doesn't make sense to get called a tool of the oil companies, i think an H2 board might be at the top of the list. (forgot to add taht last night)

ethanol has 100,000 BTU's per gallon, gasoline 150,000. 10% ethanol in gas 145,000, or a bit more than 3% less, about in line with the price diff, and not far from my observed 5% diff in mileage. Same BTU's per dollar, seems reasonable to me.
And finally, i'm nearly sure that what gas i opt to fill my truck won't cause you guys bodily harm, and i'm so sure of that that i'm willing to accept liability unconditionally.
