Drivers in Oaxaca singing the praises of E50

In Mexico, rising gas prices in Oaxaca have seen drivers turn towards higher ethanol blends as a way to save money. Three stations opened up offering up to 50% ethanol blends in 2016 and have seen customers grow by 50% since then as a result. One taxi driver said by using E50 he was saving more than $5 per day. Lack of legislative framework for these higher blends keep these stations in limbo, however, as regulators can’t certify them nor regulate them until something is in place.
