BTU's

Hi everyone, I tracked down this information. One gallon of ethanol has 77,000 BTU's. One gallon of gasoline has 91,300 BTU's. There-fore a gallon of gasohol has 89,870 BTU's. Of course I arrived at this number using KY math. Or, gasoline has about 1.6% more energy than gasohol. So, gasohol should sell for 1.6% less than gasoline to be equal in price. Take care, BOBB
