Is really E85 gasoline worth to use?.?

Answer 1

Yes, the cost will go down as production, demand and uses increase. The major drawback to E85 gasoline like all other bio-fuels is even a small amount of water contamination in the fuel leads to bacterial growth, thus there can be problems with clogged fuel filters, injectors and fuel lines. Bio-fuels are better for the environment then straight crude oil distillates.

Answer 2

I think it is worth to use. If everybody did we would be no longer dependent on foreign petroleum since it is 85% ethanol. Also we should because it would bring more money to the farmers who do most of the production of ethanol. We can't keep using straight gasoline forever. A lot of e85 vehicles are already out but most people don't even know what it is. We need to be talking about e85 definitely as a serious replacement to gasoline for at least the next 20 or 30 years.

Answer 3

Yes E85 gasoline worth to use. Over time the cost to make it will go down. It only has about 15% of gasoline in it. So over time will not happen right away. It will help cut our use of crude oil. It will help out the farmers and it cut back on CO gases. But now it only can run in some cars and truck. DO NOT USE IT IN SMALL MOTORS. Has to burn in cars and trucks that are made to burn it. E85 fuel burns hotter than gasoline.

Answer 4

It's more complex than a simple yes or no answer. For example, some scientists say it actually takes MORE energy to make the ethanol than you get out of it.

What I mean is, let's say ethanol creates X amount of energy. However, let's also say if you take all the energy used to create the ethanol, meaning planting corn (or whatever), harvesting, converting ... it takes twice that. In that case, you'd be losing because you're spending twice what you get.

Now, please remember, I am just saying "what if". Right now I can find studies that say a) ethanol costs more energy than you get, and b) exactly the opposite.

What I'd really love is a study by an independent group, perhaps an environmental one, like the Sierra Club. Then we could be sure.

Right now, it's hard to say. If (and many say this) ethanol produces more energy than it costs, it would be great for reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

As far as reducing greenhouse gases. Nah. There are too many cars still, and they only produce about 40% of the greenhouse gases in the US. Most of the rest is produced by electric plants ... and those use coal or natural gas. They would NOT be affected by this.

Answer 5

NO reason no one will use it and in time the cost of gasoline will go back down. We need that crude oil more than the farmers need a living here in USA.. All are jobs are going over seas why not are money too.

Answer 6

better for the environment yes, makes us less dependent of foreign oil, you will get slightly lower fuel economy with it because it has less btu's than traditional fuel so then engines computer module will deliver more of it to the engine to make up for the less energy, so don't get it thinking you will save a lot of money. most important make sure your vehicle is and e85 vehicle or you will be in the shop!

Answer 7

Flex gas E85 permits you to run on eighty 5% ethanol. They did this to help with the gas disaster and environment. yet ethanol comes from corn, and many it. So greater wood are torn all the way down to make way for greater corn vegetation... for that reason not helping the enivornment in any respect! i think of the flex gas is stupid.

Answer 8

Yes helps the farmers out in the USA and cuts down on crude oil use. Plus less CO gasess

Answer 9

if the price of e85 goes up it will only be for ayear farmers will just plant more corn and drive the price down
