Mike Allen has this as #6 in his post at PopularMechanics.com:
"Avoid Ethanol When Possible - Gasoline that has been cut with 10 or 15 percent ethanol, called E10 or E15, is an mpg killer. Why? Gasoline stores more energy than ethanol (119,000 Btu per gallon vs 80,000). So it takes more ethanol than gasoline to go the same distance."
