What is the difference between 97# ethanol gasoline and 97# clean gasoline? Under the same conditions, is it easier and more profitable to produce 97# ethanol gasoline?
The difference between ethanol-blended gasoline and regular gasoline lies in whether ethanol is added. 97# ethanol-blended gasoline is made by mixing 90% regular gasoline with 10% fuel ethanol. First, a base gasoline mixture with an octane rating of around 95.3 is created; since ethanol has an octane rating of approximately 111, then 10% or 15% ethanol is added, which raises the octane rating to 97. This type of gasoline is generally denoted as E10 (97#) or E15 (97#); 97# clean gasoline refers to gasoline in which no ethanol is added, and the constituent oils are directly blended to achieve a 97 octane rating (manganese additives are usually included). In terms of performance, 97# ethanol gasoline should be better than clean gasoline, but the exact figures are not known
Under normal circumstances, ethanol-blended gasoline with the same grade performs better than regular gasoline, but the extent of this improvement depends on the specific formulation of the gasoline.
The base octane rating of ethanol-blended gasoline is 95.5, while that of regular gasoline is 96.4; an increase in the octane rating comes at a high cost
