The addition of ethanol to our gasoline has some negative aspects, but in comparison it also brings great benefits
When the theme of my lecture is the transition between fuel and electricity, the question always arises. Is it true that our gasoline is one of the worst in the world? And I need to answer that, the other way around. Our gasoline is one of the best in the world.

But here comes the second question. Doesn’t ethanol get in the way of gasoline? And I have to explain. No, it can reduce calorific value and increase consumption a little. On the other hand, there is a reduction in emissions and an increase in octane.
However, the most serious problem is when it arrives at some dishonest stations, which continue to operate despite being already closed by the ANP, and then the gasoline is adulterated with more ethanol, methanol, solvent and even becomes one of the worst in the world.
