Burning more fuel per gallon produces more emissions. No math or science to it,just pure common sense.
.....And, if that isn't bad enough, the wizards in Washington and the EPA are determined to come out with an E15 gasoline (already out in some areas,) that a bunch of auto manufacturers say they will not repair under their warranty if the damage was done using E15. Go to <www.snopes.com> and search "E15 gasoline".
