Gasohol is a mixture of– Correct Answer Gasoline and Ethanol

The correct answer is  Gasoline and Ethanol,

Key Points

  • Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol that consists of one part ethanol and nine parts of lead-free gasoline. 
  •  A mixture of petrol (gasoline) and alcohol (i.e. typically ethanol at 10%, or methanol at 3%), used as an alternative fuel for cars and other vehicles in many countries.
  • The ethanol is obtained as a biofuel by fermentation of agricultural crops or crop residues, for example, sugar cane waste.
  •  Many cars can also use a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol, called E85. Ethanol-based gasohol has a higher octane rating and burns more completely than conventional petrol, thus lowering some emissions.
  •  However, ethanol can damage certain engine components, such as rubber seals. Methanol-based gasohol is more toxic and corrosive, and its emissions include formaldehyde, a known carcinogen.
