Here is an introduction to the provinces in China that use ethanol gasoline: 1. Six major provinces: Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Henan, Anhui, and Guangxi. 2. Some cities in Jiangsu Province: Bayannur City, Wuhai City, and six cities in Jiangsu Province including Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Huaian, Yancheng, and Suqian. 3. Some cities in Shandong Province: seven cities in Shandong Province including Jinan, Zaozhuang, Jining, Tai'an, Linyi, Liaocheng, and Heze. 4. Some cities in Hubei Province: nine cities in Hubei Province including Wuhan, Xiangfan, Jingmen, Suizhou, Xiaogan, Shiyan, Yichang, Huangshi, and Ezhou. 5. Some cities in Hebei Province: six regions in Hebei Province including Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Xingtai, Handan, Cangzhou, and Hengshui.
I remember that there are quite a few provinces in China using ethanol gasoline, mainly concentrated in the northeast, central, and northern regions. Specifically, these include the three northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning, as well as Henan, Anhui, Shandong, Shanxi, Hubei, Guangxi, and others. These are all pilot provinces promoted by the state, where ethanol gasoline has been in trial use for many years. It is essentially made by blending regular gasoline with about 10% ethanol, which is typically extracted from corn or wheat. The benefit is that it reduces exhaust emissions after combustion, making it more environmentally friendly. If you're traveling or driving in these areas, pay attention to the labels when refueling, as some older vehicles may experience difficulties starting or a slight increase in fuel consumption after using it. Therefore, it's best to check your vehicle's condition or consult gas station staff before setting off. Overall, this fuel is part of the country's environmental policy aimed at reducing pollution and is suitable for use in densely populated urban areas.
