10 - Relationship between ethanol and gasoline in Brazil reaches
71.73% (In portuguese)
The article below is from an important brazilian newspaper and comments
about the price relationship between ethanol for fueling vehicles and gasoline.
In Brazil, we have the option to use both fuels, because our cars are flex fuel
cars and are able to run with any mix of both fuels. But one issue important is
that the energy content from ethanol is 70% of energy content of gasoline, so
this ratio is the maximum value for using ethanol instead gasoline. And
because ethanol is a agribusiness product with a large seasonal content, time
of the year is other important issue in the equation: Ethanol or Gasoline?
• What are the factors affecting this ratio?
• This kind of relationship pushes towards market perfection?
• How price is affected by supply and demand law?

Production Mix
• Production defined by Prices
• Sugar Prices – International Prices
• Ethanol Prices – Domestic Market
 Gas – competitor (every gas station has both)
 70% of energy content compared with Gas

Flex Fuel Engines
• A flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) or dual-fuel vehicle (colloquially called
a flex-fuel vehicle) is an alternative fuel vehicle with an internal
combustion engine designed to run on more than
one fuel, usually gasoline blended with either ethanol or methanol
fuel, and both fuels are stored in the same common tank.
• Modern flex-fuel engines are capable of burning any proportion of
the resulting blend in the combustion chamber as fuel
injection andspark timing are adjusted automatically according to the
actual blend detected by electronic sensors.
