change2e85.com sold me a conversion kit to run e85 ethanol in my regular gas vehicle, and the kit did not work. they made me adjust it and try to fix it, it destroyed my gas mileage. Internet

Hi I'm a happy owner of an Chrysler Grand voyager 4x4 3,3v6   a thirsty beast ,  I converted my car to E85 3 years ago and it workes fine , Here in Norway i save  3 USD a gallon on E85 vs 95 oct gazoline .

Change2e85 where wery helpful when I innstalled my convertione kit , answered ewery mail  quick . 

I believe you are mistaken - Ethanol (and Methanol) are more efficient than gasoline in a gasoline engine - about 40%. But you are correct in that it has less energy than gasoline - about 40% less, but because it is more efficient, it takes 1.56 gallons of ethanol to go the same mileage as gasoline. But in a high compression engine designed for alcohol, it is more efficient, so even though it has less energy, it will get virtually the same gas mileage.  And it is over 80% cleaner! (and did I mention that you can use it in your high performance car because it has like a 105 octane).

Also, I have used this conversion kit in one of my cars, and it ran fine.

I don't know whether or not this product works as you describe. What I do know is that E85 lowers you mileage significantly. In fact, unreasonably so.

There is absolutely no reason E85 should be on the market at all. It is much less efficient a fuel. Not to mention it is made from food which could be used for much better purposes than transportation. Fossil fuels are much much more efficient.

I've done a fair bit of research on fuels and actually the old leaded gasoline is the best and most efficient that we've had thus far. But I suppose this is beside the point. I guess what I'm saying is that based on efficiency, everyone should just use regular gasoline 99% of the time.
