Impacts the pocket with no increase in fuel efficiency
The introduction of ethanol to gasoline has only one purpose, to reduce Nox emissions. There is nothing so special about ethanol that makes this a necessity. The implementation of emissions systems has become so convoluted that any attempt to obtain better fuel mileage becomes an internal system conflict. The simplicity of creating a more efficient air/fuel molecular blend completely escapes the engine manufacturers, doing so in itself would increase the efficiency of the engine creating more power reduce emissions on a greater scale and result in a less fuel for equivalent work scenario. ie: more fuel efficient without additional cost to the consumer. The technology currently exists to do exactly that, the only real roadblock is the ecu designs that manage the emissions for the catalytic convertor and that is all the ecu is doing for the emissions ... maintaining a balance of engine exhaust output to support the catalytic convertor. A design solution for the engines throttlebody that alters the intake air density allowing for a better blending of the fuel does exist, if only the emissions systems would cooperate and allow it to work. #gadgetmangroove
