Chevron road trip demonstrates renewable gasoline blend

I think calling this news is a bit of a stretch. To me this is closer to an advertisement. The article is written by Chevron's PR department about Chevron made to look like articles that are written by independent news agencies. Notice the lack of details about the fuels that any "reporter" worth their salt would have included. Notably absent are the words alcohol or ethanol. I suspect this is because of the stigma attached to those words and that these are not new technologys. If there is new technology in their 50% blended gasoline then tell us about it. If it's just rebranding gasahol then that's old news.
I don't have a problem with a companies self promoting as long as it's recognized as such.
Also did anyone take time to read the entire disclaimer at the end of the article? Holy cow!

Hey 92 b , point taken. Chevron is definitely taking steps to cover their *** in case the article is mis-interpreted.

I posted this because it at least demonstrates different thinking and a different approach to how the Oil companies are reacting. They have the most to lose and are getting more inventive with their approach to emissions reductions.

We have to approach carbon reductions from as many angles as we can and we have to also do it without wrecking the economy.

If, as was stated in the article, it is possible achieve a 40% reduction in emissions by re blending/reformulating gasoline, I say, "have at it". Achieving 40% on every ICE vehicle on the roads now will have a much greater impact than waiting until EV's are considered mainstream transportation.

By the way, Chevron is not the only company experimenting with these fuels. So is Porsche, not a fly-by-night company by any means.

Here's some news from them.
