What mixes with gas to extend supplies?

Ethanol is commonly mixed with gasoline to extend supplies. It is a renewable fuel source that can be blended with gasoline in different ratios to create fuels such as E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) or E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline). Ethanol helps reduce the overall demand for gasoline and can be produced from a variety of feedstocks, including corn and sugarcane.

Yes, cars can run on ethanol as a fuel source. Ethanol is a renewable, bio-based fuel that can be used as an alternative to gasoline in vehicles. Many cars today are designed to run on a blend of ethanol and gasoline, known as E85. Ethanol is produced from crops such as corn or sugarcane and is considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional gasoline.


When gasoline burns what kind of energy does it change into?

When gasoline burns, it changes into thermal energy and kinetic energy. The heat produced from the combustion process creates thermal energy, while the resulting movement of the vehicle's engine and wheels converts some of this energy into kinetic energy for propulsion.
