"The engine is rated at 300 horsepower and is fueled by E95, a fuel composed of 95% anhydrous ethanol and 5% light hydrocarbon denaturant." "Maintenance and repair costs of the E95 trucks were considerably higher primarily due to fuel filter and fuel pump issues." 26 page, 142K PDF > http://www.afdc.doe.gov/pdfs/hennepin.pdf [MH: not quite as direct] Alternative Fuel Truck Case Studies "Running Line-Haul Trucks on Ethanol" By Paul Norton and Kenneth J.
