I serioulsy doubt these figures on 100% ethanol. Ethanol does not have the btu of gasoline and therefore one burns more than they would on gasoline. typically one uses about 20% more ethanol than gasoline. lee

They started this in 1993 and are flying4 RV3's and 1 RV8. According to 1 of the owner/pilots, using 100% Ethanol the advantages are: 1. More power2. Cooler operating temps3.Longer engine life, due to cooler operating5. They can burn 100%, E85 and pure Av gas He stated that the fuel burn economy runs 10 to 15% more than AV gas.Cost of a gallon of 100% is $1.80. If my Alon burns 6 gph of 100 LL then 15% more is .9 gallon. 6 gal at $4.75 is $28.506.9 gal of 100% ethanol at $1.80 is $12.42 Travelling cross country does pose a problem for them untill E85 or 100% becomesavailable at airports across the country. This is why they must use 100LLon occasion. They have a website if anyone would like more info. [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I say 100% pure, it is really 97% pure ethanol due to the denaturing. Thegovernment requires denaturing so noone can drink it. I hope this is informative. He also gave me the name and ph. number of a fellow atS. D. State Univ. who was instrumental in the conversion of their engines. And Yes,I forgot to ask what engines they are using. Maybe their web will say.
