Conventional fuel ethanol
Term · Energy · MLC-T-ENE-000413
Fuel ethanol produced by fermenting cornstarch. Fuel ethanol is typically blended with motor gasoline as an oxygenate or
octane enhancer in concentrations of 10% ethanol, but it can be blended up to a 15% concentration in some markets for vehicle models manufactured to use E15. In higher concentrations of 51% - 83% fuel ethanol, it is used in alternative or flex-fuel vehicles.
