Abstract
Description
Tests were conducted using two 1976 Ford Torinos in which the fuel economy using gasohol was compared with that obtained using unleaded gasoline. It was found that gasohoI gave 3% fewer miles per gallon than the unleaded gasoline under typical summer highway driving conditions in North Dakota. This difference was found to be statistically significant at the 99% level of confidence. The reduced fuel economy with gasohol appears to be directly proportional to the lower energy content of gasohol.
