The ethanol is 10% less energy per gallon than gas. There is a 10% mix. So, 10% of 10% means there is 1% less energy per gallon.
I think your numbers are a little off. Gasoline contains ~114,100 BTU's per gallon. Ethanol contains ~76,100 BTU's per gallon.
That means Ethanol contains 66.67% of the energy of gasoline, not 90% less.
In the case of E15 then you would be losing ~15% of the energy per gallon.
Quit it. That would be true if you didn't get any energy out of alkie. I hope you know that's not true?
Now, you can redo you math or
just read this because the math is already done. :B
