2 Ethanol Extends the Efficiency of Gasoline Phase I
3 WOW, E30 Provides Over 100 Octane Performance Phase I
4 Most fuel today has 10% ethanol blended, even FFVs on the road today would see little to no MPG loss with E20 or E30 when operating at a higher load. Thus, saving consumers money at the pump. There is a Modest Value Today of Intermediate Blends Phase I

Column B is what automobile engineers will look at, but if E30 is widely adopted, then they can plan on adding column C to B for direct injection fuel systems. Column C would be reduced by at least 50% for current port fuel injection vehicles. 6 Breaking the Blend Wall with a Clean, High Efficiency Fuel RON = Research Octane Number
