How much of a bushel of corn is used to make ethanol?

When gas contains 10 percent ethanol how much ethanol is in a gallon of gas?

For every gallon of gas containing 10% ethanol (referred to as E10 gas), it will contain 1/10th gallon of ethanol (about 12 ounces by volume). Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it).

How many miles per gallon less with ethanol enhanced gasoline?

Expect around a 15% decline in fuel mileage over conventional gasoline. Ok, so if I'm paying $4.00 / gallon for 10 % ethanol gas and loosing 15 % mileage that means if I can find 100 % gasoline with no ethanol at $4.60 / gallon I'm getting basically the same thing. So if I pay $4.10 / gallon for real gas without ethanol, I just saved $.50 / gallon over the ethanol low output gas. This should make shopping allot easier, as long as the stations are required to post how much ethanol they are selling versus real gas.


How much does a gasoline ethanol blend weight per gallon if the ratio per gallon is 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol?

How was corn ethanol discovered?

Ethanol was almost certainly originally discovered through the accidental fermentation of improperly stored fruit or grain. Corn (maize) was unknown to Europeans until around the 15th century, but it was obviously a type of grain, and everybody knew by then you could make ethanol out of grain, so "corn ethanol" wasn't really "discovered" so much as "something everyone assumed to be true turned out to actually be true."
