Did you know the difference between 87 and 88 octane fuel is more than just a number at the pump? 🛢️🚗
According to a recent article, Unleaded 88 (E15) contains 15% ethanol, compared to 10% ethanol in regular 87 octane (E10). That additional ethanol boosts octane, helps reduce engine knock, and is approved for most 2001 and newer vehicles.
For consumers, Unleaded 88 is often a lower-cost fuel option while also supporting greater use of renewable fuels. For the ethanol and biofuels industry, it's another example of how higher ethanol blends can deliver value at the pump while contributing to a more diverse and sustainable fuel supply.
As awareness grows, fuels like Unleaded 88 continue to demonstrate the important role ethanol plays in America's energy future.
