| MPG is a measure of economy, not efficiency. There's less energy per pound of E85 than straight gasoline. How that relates to the specific conversion losses (efficiency) in an ICE requires more data. I do know that it resists detonation more, allowing more timing and boost. How that relates to energy produced at the crank per pound of air is an exercise for someone who cares more about power than the corrosion of the aluminum parts in their fuel system when exposed to alcohol. However, what you've said is the moral equivalent of this conversation: A: Viagra allows me a more satisfying lovemaking experience! B: No, the sky is purple.
