Cost of the new engine relative to gasoline baseline. So far, Ruth noted, the new engine has achieved target engine-out emissions (EOE), performance and fuel economy; aftertreatment catalyst performance has met or exceeded the targeted conversion rates, enabling an increased allowance on engine out HC.

The resulting higher BMEP levels allow downsizing of the engine at equivalent vehicle performance. The vehicle owner will realize high fuel economy because gasoline, with its greater eating value per volume, is the fuel that is primarily used for most driving modes.

Relative changes in vehicle energy efficiency (VEE) (km/MJ) on ethanol/gasoline blends over those on gasoline for different blending levels. Several recent highly cited LCAs that have incorporated vehicle efficiency differences between gasoline and ethanol/gasoline blends could potentially be misleading. Click to enlarge.

Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. Co-Optima is definitely not seeking to develop new conversion pathways, but is relying on what has already been done. Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI).

technology and there is progress on the economic conversion of biomass to. There is no strong advocacy for methanol (unlike ethanol) as a transportation fuel; therefore, they said, it has been displaced by ethanol as oxygenate of choice in gasoline blends. The toxicity (mortality) is comparable to or better than gasoline.
