Re: btu /power output gasoline/ethanol goto afdc.doe.gov

It shows power output of ethanol is 70% of gasoline or a ratio of 1.42/1
Indy cars are super high compression to obtain high horsepower and get a few miles to the gallon of ethanol. Ethanol is used in Indy cars for its safety feature, less explosive, after too many terrible burn accidents and deaths. Ethanol is basically alcohol and if you ever used an alcohol burner in chem you will remember it has nowhere near the heat factor of gasoline type burners. Also see reply 426991 for further info on ethanol boondoggle.

Thanks Ken
