Ford engineers also presented two other papers evaluating the effects of low to mid-level ethanol blends in spark-ignited engines at the conference. As a result, as the ethanol content of the fuel is increased, the fuel economy and driving range for a given fuel tank size are reduced. Volumetric fuel economy. Earlier post.).
