enabling fuel choice is to ensure that all new cars are flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs).
«Unlike in the 1970s, today only 2 % of U.S. electricity is generated from oil, so plug in hybrids enable the transportation sector to tap into the array of vast domestic and much easier to secure energy resources which power our grid, and thus can increase

«The methodology can not be used to infer anything about the direct impacts of specific policies, such as power plant emissions limits or renewable portfolio standards, or the effect that changes in relative prices may have on
fuel choice, such as the impact of the change in supply or price of natural gas or renewables may have had on the competitiveness of coal.
Other maintenance makes a MUCH larger impact than
fuel choice (ala regular oil changes, fuel system maintenance, etc).
Since your vehicle requires Octane Rating 87 (which is probably (RON+MON) / 2) or RON 91, and
