About Gasoline or Ethanol Calculator

Compare pump prices to see whether gasoline or ethanol is more economical.

How it works

Ethanol's price is divided by gasoline's price and compared with a 70% threshold.

How to use

  1. Enter the two prices per liter.
  2. Read the price ratio.
  3. Compare the recommendation with your vehicle's actual consumption.

Practical example

If gasoline costs R$6 and ethanol costs R$4, the ratio is about 66.7%, favoring ethanol under this model.

Useful tips

The 70% rule is an estimate. Actual economy depends on your vehicle's consumption with each fuel.
