Effects of gasoline composition on engine performance, exhaust gases and operational costs

Lucimar Venancio Amaral et al.

Summary: New technologies aim to improve the performance of internal combustion engines by enhancing knock resistance in fuels. Aromatics, paraffins, and lead-based additives are commonly used in gasoline to increase octane rating, but alternatives like ethanol are gaining interest due to their renewable nature. Ethanol, widely used in Brazil and the United States, has shown to increase octane rating, thermal efficiency, and engine power. Despite improvements in engine performance and octane rating, the cost implications of using ethanol blends may outweigh the benefits. For example, higher ethanol percentages in gasoline blends resulted in a significant reduction in net power cost and NOx emissions.
