What benefit, besides money, does ethanol bring to the gas tank?
• For older cars without oxygen sensors and feedback loops, ethanol adds oxygen to the fuel, thereby raising the air/fuel ratio for more complete combustion and generally increased performance. • Adds oxygen to the fuel, thereby raising the air/fuel ratio for more complete combustion and generally increased performance. Ethanol is a very high octane fuel. • E-10 Unleaded is compatible with all fuel system components that have been manufactured in the last 15 years. • Prevents burning of engine valves because ethanol burns cooler than gasoline; Q: Is ethanol the best source of energy for our vehicles? There’s a saying, “the best is the enemy of the good”. The best, according to many, not all, is hydrogen. Hydrogen, for a mass market, is not available and won’t be for many years. We don’t have an infrastructure for hydrogen fuel. Diesels are 25 percent better in fuel economy than gasoline and 67 percent better in fuel economy than ethanol. Diesels are all the rage in Europe where gasolin
