Methanol additive could extend gasoline supply and cut emissions
MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers propose mixing 5 to 15 percent methanol into gasoline to stretch existing supplies by 15 percent and boost fuel economy while cutting carbon monoxide emissions. Tests on 1966–1972 model cars showed 5–13 percent better fuel economy and up to 72 percent lower CO, with 100 percent methanol engines offering even greater gains. Existing engines could be converted for about $100, and methanol could be produced from waste or biomass, easing dependence on petroleum while remaining a gasoline additive rather than a taxed fuel.
