<<Ethanol has less energy density, and even with 10% ethanol you slightly decrease energy density. OTOH, ethanol increases octane, and may have other positive effects.

Our electric co-op ran a test with the meter readers and found 1-2% better mileage with the 10% ethanol. Not something you'd notice with normal driving. The co-op has one million rural users so a lot of miles went into that study.
