JOE questioned:

As far as I unwritten, the Japanese have a law that states that Japanese cars (JDM) must not more than 280 HP. This is to hegemony pollution and boost fuel efficiency.

How much feul efficiency is lost in oldish cars running on E10?

Cogent questioned:

E10 is 90% Gasoline and 10% Ethanol.
I read that:
“If habitual automobiles can go more miles on 9 tenths of a gallon of pure gasoline, than they can on 1 gallon of E10 made up of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline, then forcing E10 ethanol on all customers is the essential scam. Taxpayers are forced to place 10% ethanol in their fuel only to realize a 10% to 20% net loss in fuel mileage!”
Is this proclamation right? Do ‘habitual’ car’s receive that much of a fall in fuel efficiency? I can’t find any references.
