Traditionally biofuel has been more expensive than crude oil, with the break-even point being around the $100/barrel mark.

What Price of Crude Oil Makes Ethanol Production Profitable? • farmdoc daily

But with crude oil being as expensive as it is now, the biofuel might actually be lowering the price of gasoline. There was a study conducted last year that said increasing the blend to E15 or E20 will result in reduced pump prices as well as some income for our ethanol producers.

but how much reduction in km/li, does biofuel cause?

**Dr.Kamiya** · June 26th, 2022 03:01 PM

According to this source 1/30th reduction in fuel economy from an E10 blend:

Money Matters: Pure Gasoline Or E1?
"In AAA's hypothetical analysis, a car getting 30 mpg on 100 percent gasoline would still average approximately 29 mpg on E10."

Theory-wise ethanol has just 65% of the energy contained in the same volume of gasoline, but since it is higher octane modern and high-performance cars can offset some of that reduced energy by running leaner or with higher boost/compression ratios.

If it's an older or non-performance car tuned for regular fuel only the drop in fuel economy will be worse with increasing ethanol content.

Ethanol is hygroscopic.
