Question

Describe advantages of gasohol.

Answer 1

1. Cheap: Gasohol is typically cheaper than petroleum as it is cheaper to manufacture.
2. Low emission fuel: Emissions from using gasohol are less than that of vehicles using gasoline. Compared to regular gasoline, gasohol emits less carbon dioxide, benzene, butadiene, and sulphur dioxide.
3. Clean fuel: Aside from being cleaner for the environment, gasohol also helps to keep car engines cleaner by reducing the buildup of residue in the fuel system.
4. Higher performance: Since the ethanol in gasohol raises the octane level, gasohol has a higher performance than regular gasoline at the same octane rating. It also reduces engine "knocking," and the vehicle can run more smoothly.
5. Gasohol can be used with no modification to the vehicle's engine.
