drop-in biohydrocarbons) could offer an option to achieve a high-bioenergy-content gasoline that is compatible with conventional gasoline-fueled cars (i.e., those limited to a 10% ethanol blend) without a significant change in emissions. The bioenergy content of the fuels ranged from 7 to 78%. 7 °C (19.4 °F).
