E10 is 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent unleaded gasoline. This 10 percent ethanol blend is covered under warranty for every make and every model of automobile produced by every automobile manufacturer that sells vehicles in the U.S. Many even recommend its use because of its high octane and superior performance characteristics.

OBS

Ethanol is an oxygenate, meaning it adds valuable oxygen to the gasoline. More oxygen in a fuel allows it to burn more completely and cleanly. Ethanol is 35 percent oxygen by weight, so a 10 percent ethanol blend produces gasoline with 3.5 percent oxygen.

OBS

10% ethanol blend; E-10: term and abbreviation used at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
