Final answer:

The AFI11-202V3 isn't related to food fuel values or alternative fuel requirements. The discussion involves the efficiency and carbon emissions of ethanol used in vehicles and the nonlinear fuel requirements for space travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The AFI11-202V3 does not relate to the fuel requirements your question pertains to. However, when discussing the fuel values of food components and alternative fuels such as ethanol, the calorie content of food and the energy efficiency of different types of fuel for vehicles are considered. Ethanol, when used in vehicles in various concentrations like gasohol (10% ethanol) or E85 (up to 85% ethanol), has implications for carbon emissions and miles per gallon (MPG). The use of ethanol in higher concentrations like E85 often results in lower MPG compared to standard gasoline; this is due to the difference in bond enthalpy change between burning fossil fuels and burning ethanol, which is an alternative and advanced fuel.

Additionally, it is important to note that in cases like space travel, fuel requirements do not scale linearly with distance as they do with vehicles on Earth. The initial phase of escaping Earth's gravity necessitates a substantial amount of fuel.
