How will renewable fuel affect the performance and fuel economy of my car, truck, lawnmower, or boat?
Under typical operating conditions, there should be no noticeable impact on overall power or performance when using 10% ethanol blends. As discussed above, certain components of older engines that are operated in areas where ethanol is new might be affected, and a good maintenance program is recommended. Fuel economy will be reduced slightly with ethanol blends because ethanol has about two-thirds of the energy content of gasoline.
