These figures from a sidebar in the original article. I'll let the math whizzes here figure the % age...the sidebar says that a gallon of pure ethanol will take you 66% of the distance a gallon of gas will.

Damn! That would appear even higher than 20% less. However much it is, IMO it's a bad idea and far from the solution.
