EIA: trends in downsized engine design leading to increased demand for higher-octane gasoline

Green Car Congress

APRIL 6, 2016

Since 2013, the share of premium gasoline in total motor gasoline sales in the US has steadily increased to 11.3% One significant trend is engine downsizing coupled with turbocharging. Turbochargers work by using a turbine driven off the exhaust gas to pressurize the intake air. of new gasoline-fueled LDV sales.
