STARTING AND OPERATING
251
Over 40 autom obile manu factu rers arou nd the world
have issu ed and end orsed consistent gasoline specifica-
tions (the World Wide Fuel Charter, WWFC) to define
fuel prop erties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions,
engine perform ance, and durability for you r vehicle. The
manu factu rer recom mend s the use of gasolines that meet
the WWFC specifications if they are available.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unlead ed gasoline with oxy-
genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen-
ates are requ ired in som e areas of the country during the
winter months to red uce carbon monoxid e emissions.
Fuels blend ed with these oxygenates may be used in
you r vehicle.
Reformulated Gasoline
Many areas of the country requ ire the use of cleaner
burning gasoline referred to as “Reform ulated Gasoline”.
CAUTIO N!

DO NOT use gasolin es contain ing Meth anol. Use of
these blen ds may resu lt in startin g and driveab ility
prob lem s and may damage critical fuel system com-
ponents.
Reform ulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe-
cifically blend ed to red uce vehicle emissions and im-
prove air quality.
The manu factu rer supports the use of reform ulated gaso-
lines. Prop erly blend ed reform ulated gasolines will pro-
vid e excellent perform ance and durability of engine and
fuel system components.
Problem s that resu lt from using methanol/ gasoline
blend s are not the resp onsibility of the manu factu rer and
may not be covered by the vehicle warranty. While MTBE
is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have
the negative effects of Methanol.
