The Facts on Ethanol - Performance

we believe ethanol provides high quality, high-octane fuel for exceptional engine performance. Ethanol has the highest octane rating of any fuel and helps to keep today's high-compression engines running smoothly. Ethanol is a clean, renewable, high performance fuel for your vehicle. Ethanol's clean burning emissions and renewable sources lets consumers' fuel up while supporting and acting on their environmental interests.

It has been assumed that while ethanol may cost less at the pump, it provided fewer miles per gallon than regular unleaded gasoline. However, a study released in December 2007 by The University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center and the Minnesota Center for Automotive Research found that automobiles using midlevel blends may actually get better gas mileage than cars running on regular unleaded gasoline.
