Nothing good about Ethanol

One thing I learned is that one reason car makers love E85 is that it
gives them a bonus on the CAFE standards. Only the gasoline that is
burned counts, which means they get to multiply the gas mileage of an E85
car by 7 (1/0.15)when computing its contribution to fleet average MPG.
This was estimated be with $200 million a year to GM alone.
Simple enough to correct - call it Fuel Mileage.
