Is there a efficiency chart somewhere with multiple mixture ratios?

The following link has some charts for just the ethanol. They look about as expected. Some things get better the more ethanol you use, some get diminishing returns, some have an inflection point and get worse, some are just worse as you increase ethanol percentage.

Fundamentally, ethanol will always be less efficient per gallon than gasoline. It has significantly less specific energy compared to gasoline. This is a fact known by anyone that has tried e85 either for racing or for flex fuel compatible normal vehicles.
