Ethanol - 15-20%?

[bronsin]

Hmm I think Ill invent something to add to the gastank which removes the ethanol. Thataway we could get better mpg. MAybe add a tank which catches the ethanol so we can sell it back to Obama for $$$. He'll know what to do with it!

I'm not sure if removing the ethanol will boost mpg, but it would destroy your engine with engine knock/ping. The ethanol is there to control the octane of your fuel. I know you were joking, but if you were really to remove the ethanol, you would need to add some sort of oxidizer to replace it.

Here's some more info about ethanol vs MTBE as an oxidizer
