Ethanol vs Gasoline Calculator

Find out which fuel is more cost-effective: ethanol or gasoline. Enter the prices and see which is better for your flex-fuel car.

How does the calculation work?

Ethanol has lower energy content than gasoline — a flex-fuel car averages about 30% fewer km/L with ethanol. So ethanol is only worthwhile if it costs less than 70% of the gasoline price.

Regra: se Preço Etanol ÷ Preço Gasolina < 0,70 → etanol compensa. Caso contrário, use gasolina.

* The exact ratio may vary by vehicle model (±2%). Consult the owner's manual.
