Methanol fuel vehicles
Like ethanol, methanol is blended with gasoline in a ratio of 85 to 15, to form M85. When burned in an engine, methanol produces low emissions. However, it is not commonly used as such because automakers are no longer supplying methanol-powered vehicles. Methanol is also the fuel for the direct-methanol fuel cell. Developing a methanol refueling infrastructure is essential to expand the use of M85.
