This section discusses only the use of high ( >80% ) alcohol or ether fuels. Alcohol fuels can be made from sources other than imported crude oil, and the nations that have researched/used alcohol fuels have mainly based their choice on import substitution. Alcohol fuels can burn more efficiently, and can reduce photochemically-active emissions. Most vehicle manufacturers favoured the use of liquid fuels over compressed or liquified gases. The alcohol fuels have high research octane ratings, but also high sensitivity and high latent heats [6,17,51,74].
