Report: Higher-Octane Fuel Being Developed By Automakers
Lower-Octane fuels will ultimately disappear, and costs will rise.
Automakers are always finding ways to increase the fuel efficiency in their vehicles along with a cleaner environment. Among technologies that they are working include electric powertrains, lightweight materials as well as improved gearbox to increase the efficiency of the vehicle.
However, higher-octane fuel is yet to be taken advantage of by the automobile industry. Higher-octane fuel could become an important aspect in increasing fuel efficiency in the future.
Automakers and oil companies are working on developing higher-octane fuels and engines that will support them. As per industry analysts, boosting octane could be one of the affordable answers out there to improve vehicle fuel economy and decrease C02 emissions.
Also, cars can utilise more of the energy in petrol, allowing them to travel considerably far on the same amount of fuel.
As per Detroit Free Press, automakers such Ford are interested in more fuel-efficient technology. Ford product development boss Raj Nair has said that his company is prioritising "new fuel formulations" that will be better for the environment. Marie Valentine, the Toyota senior principal engineer for energy and environmental research, said, "The general position is that [premium] is what automakers are thinking for the future octane level."
General Motors Director of Global propulsion labs David Brooks said at a recent engineering conference, "We don't need a new fuel-we just need improved gasoline." He noted 114 octane would be excellent from a design perspective at least.
However, there is a catch; consumers are likely to feel the pinch of the more premium fuel when they head to the gas station. It is still not clear what could be the cost of higher-octane fuel, though many experts believe it could cost more.
In India, we do have high-performance fuel, though they are not high-octane fuel as mentioned above. Eventually, lower-octane fuel will be phased out to make way for cleaner air.
