Gasoline Gallon Equivalent - GGE
Gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) or gasoline-equivalent gallon (GEG) is the amount of alternative fuel it takes to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline. GGE allows consumers to compare the energy content of competing fuels against a commonly known fuel --- gasoline.
Fuel	GGE	BTU/unit
Gasoline (Regular Un-leaded)	1 US Gallon	114,100 BTU per gallon
Gasoline reformulated with Ethanol	1.019 Gallons	111,836 BTU per gallon
Diesel #2	0.88 US Gallon	129,500 BTU per gallon
Biodiesel (B100)	0.96 Gallons	118,300 BTU per gallon
Biodiesel (B20)	0.90 Gallons	127,250 BTU per gallon
Kerosene	0.90 US Gallon	128,100 BTU per gallon
Ethanol fuel(E100)	1.500 US Gallons	76,000 BTU per gallon
Ethanol fuel (E85)	1.39 US Gallons	81,800 BTU per gallon
Methanol fuel (M100)	2.01 US Gallons	56,800 BTU/gal (it takes twice as much Methanol to equal the BTU of gas)
