Extending the role of alcohols as transport fuels using iso-stoichiometric ternary blends of gasoline, ethanol and methanol

► Gasoline, ethanol and methanol ternary blends can be invisible to flex-fuel vehicles. ► Blending these fuels like this extends ethanol's reach further into the fuel pool. ► Using fossil methanol, such blends can be cheaper than gasoline on an energy basis. ► Making methanol renewably therefore allows further displacement of fossil energy. ► The approach improves energy security and increases penetration of renewable energy.
