MTBE has been a widely used antiknock agent for decades, and Bio-MTBE possesses the same technical attributes as its conventional counterpart: high energy density (86% of gasoline), low vapor pressure, low oxygen content, and very low solubility in water. Despite its potential benefits, MTBE has some properties that can be problematic.
