Volatility - Key to alcohols use

Fuel alcohol usage depends on the ability of refiners and blenders to absorb the alcohols as octane improvers and/or gasoline extenders. Therefore, potential volatility control by EPA, restricting gasoline Reid vapor pressure could have a ''domino effect'' on alcohol use. Several forces impacted refinery operations and product volatility. Lead phasedown caused more severe processing to produce octane.
