For every gallon of gas containing 10% ethanol (referred to as E10 gas), it will contain 1/10th gallon of ethanol (about 12 ounces by volume). Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it).

Does light beer have much ethanol?
Yes, light beer typically contains ethanol, which is the alcohol that gives it its intoxicating effects. However, the ethanol content in light beer is lower than in regular beer.
What volume of ethanol 96 percent should be added to 500 ml of 70 percent ethanol such that when the mix is made to 2.5l with water the final conc of ethanol is 55 percent?
Let x be the volume of 96% ethanol added. Initial ethanol in 500 ml of 70% ethanol = 0.7(500 ml) = 350 ml Final volume of ethanol in 2.5 L of 55% ethanol = 0.55(2500 ml) = 1375 ml 350 ml + 0.96x = 1375 ml Solving for x, we get x = 1125 ml of 96% ethanol to be added.

Why do you get fewer miles per gallon from a gallon of ethanol than from a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline enriched with ethanol contains more oxygen - so it burns cleaner and much faster than regular gasoline. Which means it increase the power of your car.

How much ethanol is in gas?
Gasoline typically contains up to 10% ethanol, known as E10 fuel. There are also higher ethanol blends available, such as E15 or E85, which contain 15% or 85% ethanol, respectively. Ethanol is added to gasoline to increase octane levels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
