Ethanol has become widely used in low concentration blends with gasoline in many parts of the world and has more …

Ethanol and methyl-tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) were close substitutes in the gasoline additives market until MTBE was … banned due to the concerns about groundwater contamination, leading to a sudden and dramatic substitution toward ethanol as … effects on gasoline prices. We find that state bans increased reformulated gasoline prices by 3–6 cents in non …

is similarly available and usable: sugarcane ethanol. We observe roughly 20% of flexible-fuel motorists choosing gasoline … when gasoline is priced 20% above ethanol in energy-adjusted terms ($/mile) and, similarly, 20% of motorists choosing … ethanol when ethanol is priced 20% above gasoline. We use transaction-level data to explore “non-price” characteristics which …

ethanol applications (E10, E85 and E100) in comparison with conventional gasoline. To compare the environmental profiles, the … performance difference between ethanol blends and gasoline. According to the results of this study, fuel ethanol derived from … and eutrophication. In both categories, ethanol based blends are less environmentally friendly than conventional gasoline …

In this study, the effect of ethanol–gasoline and methanol–gasoline blends on the engine performance and combustion … that when the test engine was fueled with ethanol–gasoline or methanol–gasoline blends, CO, CO2, unburned HC and NOx … values with the use of E5, E10, M5, and M10 have been compared to those of pure gasoline. The experimental results revealed …

Past studies that examine the impact of ethanol mandates on fuel prices make the assumption that ethanol and gasoline … impacts of higher ethanol mandates using a new open-economy, partial equilibrium model of gasoline, ethanol, and blending … whereby motorists buy one of two fuels: E10, which is a blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, or E85 which is a …

Consumption of high-ethanol gasoline blends must increase if United States renewable biofuel mandates are to rise above … current levels as envisioned by the Renewable Fuel Standard. One such blend is E85 which contains no more than 85% ethanol and … no less than 15% gasoline. We derive the demand for E85 based on a model of motorists' preferences for motor fuel blends …

I estimate using nonlinear seemingly unrelated regressions the demands for hydrous … ethanol and gasoline in Brazil, and motorists preferences for hydrous ethanol. I nd that on average, accounting for the …

Of relevance to the current food-versus-fuel" debate, the outward shift … of the ethanol demand curve, at price levels where traditional gasoline consumers arbitrage, may lead to higher sugar …
