Let me ask this, why do alcohol burning drag cars run faster then gasoline burning drag cars? The fastest drag cars are nitro/alcohol mix, producing several thousand hp.
I can believe a loss of fuel economy but not a loss of hp.
Actually they don't; it's not that simple.
You aren't considering all the different factors.
Maybe the nitro has something do do with it ?
Maybe the fact that the engines are built from the ground up TO USE THAT SPECIFIC FUEL.
That is kind of like saying "Why is it that cars run faster than lawn mowers?"
You can believe whatever you want......but you can't change the facts.
