Ethanol - FlexiFuel Vehicles
Ethanol, also known as grain alcohol is produced from plants,
usually sugar cane. The fuel has a high octane rating which
in turn means increased engine efficiency. Ethanol is widely
used globally as a fuel and is increasing in popularity in
Europe. A number of manufactures have developed flexi-fuel
vehicles (FFVs) currently available on from Ford, Saab and
shortly Volvo cars. Flexi-Fuel vehicles can run on a blend
of ethanol and petrol, usually up to E85 (85% Ethanol, 15%
Petrol) which is the most common blend in the UK or just
petrol.
