E85, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, is increasingly available to drivers. Its adoption hinges on the existing fuel infrastructure and vehicle compatibility.
The use of E85 can lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with sustainability goals. However, its lower energy density compared to traditional gasoline may impact fuel economy.
