Default Any power gain if driving the -10 Alpha on Ethanol?

Like the subject, is there any more power or advantages when driving it on ethanol?

E85 which we have here in the states will gain you nothing. In fact you can expect to see a 20-25% loss in fuel economy. So, here in the states that equates to E85s cost to be HIGHER per mile than regular fuel.

About the cost and and fuel economy it is the same over here in Sween the Ethanol is cheaper than gas som the cost in the end is about the same if you choose gas or ethanol, but also many of the European cars gain 10-15 hp with ethanol (but mainly turbo charged cars) so I wondered if it was the same w the H3.
