Where can I buy bioethanol for my car?
A. Bioethanol is already mixed with petrol in the UK and sold at a number of filling stations around the country. Fuel quality standards specify the maximum amounts of biofuels to be blended in road transport fuels in order to ensure compatibility with standard vehicles’ fuel performance, engine components and fuel systems. The current fuel quality standard in the EU allows for up 5% bioethanol to be blended with standard gasoline. Higher blends can be used in specific applications when vehicles have been specifically designed or modified to use them (e.g. Flex Fuel vehicles).
