The latest U.S. national average energy figures (Feb '06) pegged a U.S. gallon of gasoline at $2.23 (U.S.) while a gallon of E85 was $1.98.

Brazil
E78 $4.2 per gallon

Ethanol $2.35 per gallon

(Prices vary from a gas station to another.)

1 liter ethanol R$ R$1.40 x 3.78/2.25= Price of ethanol in USD in gallons $2.35

1 liter E78 price inR$ R$2.50 x 3.78/2.25= Price of E78 in USD in gallons $4.2
