New rule allows specially built cars to use high‑plant‑alcohol fuel.

Super‑ethanol can be up to 85% ethanol.

Existing cars are not forced to change.

More plant fuel helps reduce oil imports and some pollution.

📖

Super‑ethanol is a blend that can contain up to eighty‑five percent plant‑based alcohol mixed with gasoline.

Only vehicles built and approved for this fuel can use it; regular cars keep using normal fuel.

Using more plant‑based fuel can lower the need for imported oil and cut certain air pollutants.
