[QUOTE="bkaul, post: 9108955, member: 78965"] You won't get 50 more drive miles unless your driving habits are radically different between those tanks. The difference in energy density (energy per unit volume - kJ/m^3 or Btu/gal) between a typical E0 gasoline blend and an E10 blend is 3.6%. (I just ran the numbers based on the values for gasoline and ethanol in the fuel properties appendix of Heywood's Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, which is the de facto standard IC Engines textbook.) So if you have a fixed size tank (15.7 gal in a Mustang) and drive fairly consistently (city vs hwy, etc.) on a tank of E0 and E10, the difference in maximum range between those will be about 3.6%. If you're getting 250-300 miles on a tank, that's between 9 and 11 miles. [/QUOTE]
