Malta says no thanks to ethanol blends due to infrastructure and cost

In Malta, the government won’t be offered ethanol-blended gasoline because of various logistical and cost issues ranging from challenges to importing US-based ethanol to the fuel importation company’s lack of storage capacity for the blended fuel. Additional investment would also be required to dehydrate the fuel due to absorbing water from the air, an MP told Parliament, which would push up the costs for drivers too far to be viable. He did recognize however that ethanol-blended gasoline was better for the environment.
