E10 ethanol achieves only 1% less fuel economy than E5: study

June 9, 2011 |

In Finland, new research by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland shows there is very little difference in fuel consumption between E5 and E10 in the Finnish market under normal driving conditions. The tests, which used six used cars of different makes, found that driving 100km on E5 (standards tested at an actual 4.7%) required 10.23 liters while driving the same distance on E10 (actually 9.4%) required 10.3 liters.
