There is no scientific basis to say that E10 gasoline makes cars get hot
Representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the deployment of E10 bio-gasoline from June 1, 2026 to serve the goal of sustainable development, emission reduction and ensuring energy security is not an imposed decision or aimed at restricting people's choice. According to management agencies, E10 gasoline has been researched, tested and is suitable for most vehicles circulating in Vietnam.
Regarding concerns that E10 gasoline will cause the car to heat up and consume fuel, experts believe that this is mainly subjective and there is no clear scientific basis. According to the Vietnam Biofuel Association, in theory, E10 can cause fuel consumption to increase by about 3% due to lower thermal energy than mineral gasoline, but this difference is very difficult to recognize in reality. Conversely, E10 has a higher octane index, helping the engine operate more stably. See more...
