E20 Fuel Reduces Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbon Emissions in Automobiles

A new study by the Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies at Rochester Institute of Technology indicates that the use of E20 fuel, which blends 20 percent ethanol with gasoline, reduces the tail pipe emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, compared with traditional gasoline or E10 blends.

In addition, the research team found no measurable impact to vehicle drivability or maintenance in conventional internal combustion engines.
