    Most of the gas labeled 88 at American pumps is #E10, 10% ethanol. And ethanol does indeed help make gas cheaper. But it is 33% less efficient, and in hot months dramatically increases smog.

    It makes the car run less efficiently, produces significantly more #pollution, and can damage many existing vehicles on the market.
