Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional gasolines are
blended with alcohol or an ether
compound. These gasolines are
collectively referred to as oxygenated
fuels. To meet clean air standards, some
areas use oxygenated fuels to help reduce
emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it
is unleaded and meets the 86 minimum
octane rating requirements. Before
using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm
the fuel’s contents. Some areas require
this information to be posted on the
pump.
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%
by volume. You may use gasoline
containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name gasohol.
