The proposed WWFC5 provides automaker and engine manufacturer proposed recommendations for the quality of market gasoline and diesel fuel. For gasoline, Category 5 raises the minimum gasoline research octane number (RON) to 95. The revised Category 4 will allow biodiesel in diesel fuel at levels up to 5% by volume.
