The team studied three variants of gasoline (95, 98 and 102 RON) , three gasoline-ethanol blends (E10, E22 and E85), and a gasoline-butanol blend (Bu16) covering a range of oxygen concentrations and octane numbers. A Study of Gasoline-Alcohol Blended Fuels in an Advanced Turbocharged DISI Engine. ( Cairns et al.

These top candidates, when blended with petroleum and used in a boosted spark ignition (BSI) engine, will offer environmental benefits and boost energy efficiency all while being available at a competitive price. All the top-performing blendstocks showed potential to be produced at a competitive cost.

Alcohol and gasoline-alcohol blends also offer efficiency benefits independent of their octane value. Practically, however, the range of regular-grade gasoline in the US is 89 to 96 RON; vehicles need to be designed to accommodate fuel with the lowest expected octane rating. —Leone et al.

RVPs (predicted DVPE) of single- and dual-alcohol blends in gasoline with different relative proportions of ethanol and 1-butanol. The alcohols and hydrocarbons in the gasoline formed non-ideal mixtures with RVPs that were higher than would be expected for ideal mixtures. Credit: ACS, Andersen et al. Click to enlarge.
