Aloha George
We are using in regular gasoline a 20% of ethanol.(no lead but the

octanage

is higher due to mixed ethanol)
But we also use in some cars the 100% ethanol at about 60% of the price of
regular gasoline.(Higher compression rates engines burning 20 to 30% more
fuel)
The third option are the flex fuel cars that can use gasoline, ethanol or

a

mix in any proportion.

Thanks Castro,
Have recently lost all my e-mails and got confused with percentages when
discussing what is used in Brazil.
