Four 1978 Honda CVCC vehicles have been in regular use by California Energy Commission staff in Sacramento for 12 months. Three of the unmodified vehicles were fueled with alcohol/gasoline blends (5 % methanol, 10 % methanol, and 10 % ethanol) with the fourth remaining on gasoline as a control. The demonstration and testing have established the following: the tested blends cause no significant degradation in exhaust emissions, fuel economy, and driveability; the tested blends cause significant increases in evaporative emissions; analysis of periodic oil samples shows no evidence of accelerated metal wear; and higher than 10 % alcohols will require substantial modification to most existing California motor vehicles for acceptable emissions, performance, and fuel economy. In addition, the report discusses many aspects of using methanol and ethanol fuels, both straight and in blends, in various engine technologies.(Kursetz)
