A joint U.S. auto-oil industry research program has found no immediate advantages in using gasoline- methanol motor fuel blends. Three major auto companies and 14 large oil companies have been investigating new fuels under the Auto-Oil Air Quality Improvement Research Program. Their research found that M85 (85% gasoline and 15% methanol) would cost substantially more than straight gasoline without providing substantial benefits in vehicle emissions and ozone air quality.
