Which Type of Gasoline Has Better Fuel Efficiency?
1 Answers
Pure gasoline has better fuel efficiency. Below are specific details about gasoline: 1. Gasoline Differences: Even with the same octane rating, subtle variations exist between different gas stations, usage environments, and engines. 2. Ethanol-Blended Gasoline: Ethanol-blended gasoline is less fuel-efficient than pure gasoline because ethanol has a significantly lower carbon content (heat value) compared to the average carbon content in gasoline mixtures. In summer, higher temperatures make gasoline vaporize more easily, leading to more complete combustion, thus offering better fuel efficiency than in winter. 3. Basis: The fuel efficiency of gasoline is determined by its carbon content. Lower carbon content results in poorer fuel efficiency, while higher carbon content improves it. However, higher carbon content also increases carbon deposits, which can harm a vehicle's cleanliness.
