Ethanol burns hotter?
No. It does degrade some fuel system components on fuel systems not made for it.
It also gums the fuck out of fuel injectors, and you'll notice a drop in gas mileage Dependant on the blend. Its pretty awful shit. I don't know why the hell it exists.
I think it exists because people have an unreasonable price sensitivity when buying gas. They will drive miles out of their way to save a nickel a gallon. I also think they don't really have a good understanding of mpg factors. I was told by one guy purchasing it that he gets better mileage on it(which we know isn't true)
