ethanol daw E20 blend, produces more NOx emmissions daw compard to that of ordinary gasoline. also mas malaki ang wear sa engine at hotter engine temp. kindly check on the link kung tama pagkaintindi ko...

based on that document, it looks like there are negative effects in using this kind of fuel. but again, there are certain factors like the condition of the car used, the quality of the fuel used, etc....

honga...di ko napansin. E10 pala yung basis ng use dito sa pinas. E20 yung tinest sa australia.

hanggang 10% blend lang yung approved ng car manufacturers (for ordinary cars, since "flex-fuel" vehicles that can use up to E85 also exist) if im not mistaken.
