8. Used as an Engine Fuel and Fuel Additive ●The largest single use of ethanol is as an engine fuel and fuel additive. fuel ●Ethanol has been used as rocket fuel and is currently in lightweight rocket-powered racing aircraft.rocket fuellightweightrocket-powered racing aircraft ●More than 97 percent of U.S. gasoline contains ethanol, typically in a mixture called E10, made up of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, to oxygenate the fuel and reduce air pollution. Ethanol has a higher octane number than gasoline, providing premium blending properties, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Minimum octane number requirements prevent engine knocking and maintain drivability.U.S. Department of Energy
