So you come to the gasoline station and you have an option to get gasoline with or without ethanol. Which do you pick?

The answer is a simple matter of science. Conventional gasoline delivers more energy than a gallon that contains ethanol.

If it's a gallon of E-10, which is a blend of 10 percent ethanol and conventional gasoline now widely available in many city areas, there's an energy difference of about 3.4 percent.

Over the course of a year that incurs an extra expense of $120.

Mileage can suffer by about 25 percent with E-85, according to AAA. Over the course of a year, that amounts to an extra 300 gallons of E-85 to go the same distance as when using conventional gasoline.

So beware of ethanol gasoline at any price because you are very possibly going to pay more for less.

The Bush energy bill of 2007 enforces a great increase in ethanol gasoline and that means an even bigger impact, nationwide, on the MPG.

In Missouri, we're already there. Since January, E-10 has been required for regular and midgrade gasolineoline

But experts say ethanol undoubtedly has an effect, since there is a connection between energy content and mileage.

AAA now calculates a price for E-85 to adjust for its energy content. The national average pump price for the fuel on Thursday was $2.91 per gallon; regular gasolineoline was $3.56. The AAA calculation considering the energy content jumped the ethanol price up to $3.83 though which was twenty-seven cents more than the regular gasoline.

In fact, it's now tough for ethanol, because of the energy loss, to be priced at a level so it can beat the price of conventional gasolineoline. That's because a growing share of the nation's corn production is being diverted to producing ethanol, which has been a contributing factor in driving corn prices over $6 a bushel.

So far, GM has produced 3 million vehicles that can use conventional fuel or E-85. The price of E-85 needs to at least be competitive, after being adjusted for its energy content, with conventional gasoline to ensure that more of it is used, the automaker says.

I think the main point here is that ethanol is a lousy fuel source and there are better alternatives.
