A study by engineers from Mahle Powertrain Ltd and BP found strong synergy between spark ignition (SI) engine downsizing and fuel containing low-to-moderate amounts of alcohol, including ethanol and butanol. A Study of Gasoline-Alcohol Blended Fuels in an Advanced Turbocharged DISI Engine. ( Cairns et al.

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. In their study, Leone et al.

RVPs (predicted DVPE) of single- and dual-alcohol blends in gasoline with different relative proportions of ethanol and 1-butanol. As part of the study, they demonstrated a simple method to prepare dual-alcohol-gasoline blends with Reid vapor pressures (RVPs) “ indistinguishable ” from that of the base gasoline.

d) further provides for alcohol blends as follows: Special provisions for alcohol blends. (1) Hydrous ethanol (also sometimes known as azeotropic ethanol) typically ranges from 186 proof (93% ethanol, 7% water) to 192 proof (96% ethanol, 4% water). As used in this section and Sec. 40 CFR § 80.27(d) Conclusion.
