Influence of ethanol in spark ignition engine fuel consumption

Ethanol fuel is known as Gasohol blend, where there is E5, E85, E100 and etcetera. The figure shows percent of ethanol blend in gasoline. Main function of using gasohol is as alternative fuel. This blend can reduce reliability on gasoline. Using gasohol as fuel will affect engine performance, fuel c...
