A study of flex-fuel vehicles operating on different ethanol blends (E10, E20, E30, and E85) found that higher ethanol blend ratios provide better energy conversion within the engine. This improved efficiency partially offsets the lower energy density of ethanol (BTUs per gallon), which results in higher fuel consumption.
