Evaporative emissions by cars using gasohol were examined by General Motors Corp. The study showed an increase in emissions by as much as 51% over cars using unleaded gasoline. It is stated that cold-start driveability was worse with gasohol and there was a 0.9 to 3.7% decrease in fuel economy. The use of gasohol, however, did produce lower HC, CO and NO exhaust emissions than gasoline.
