What is the fuel octane rating?
The octane number of a fuel indicates is tendency to auto-ignite or detonate under high temperature and pressure in the presence of air. This premature detonation or ignition is also known as knocking. The more resistant a fuel is to “knocking”, the more suited it is for turbocharged or high-compression engines.
Unleaded gasoline typically has octane rating of 87 (regular), 88-90 (mid grade) and 91-94 (premium).
Environmental Benefits of Ethanol
Ethanol is a non-fossil fuel renewable resource made from plant-based feedstock which contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Made from a variety of agricultural crops like sugarcane, corn and wheat, as of 2010 Canadian regulation requires an average renewable fuel content of 55 in gasoline.
The Cleaner Transportation Fuels regulation requires that fuel suppliers blend 10% of renewable content in gasoline from 2020 to 2024. The renewable content requirement increases to 11% in 2025, 13% in 2028, and 15% in 2030 and onwards. The renewable content must emit fewer greenhouse gas emissions than fossil gasoline on a lifecycle basis by 45% before 2030 and 50% from 2030 onward. The regulation also requires fuel suppliers to continue to blend 4% renewable content in diesel. This renewable content must emit 70% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than fossil diesel on a lifecycle basis.
