Abstract

The Brazilian unit of Magneti Marelli has developed an engine control system that lets cars run on gasoline, ethanol, blends of the two liquids in any proportion and also natural gas. The system is designed to automatically choose the best fuel according to driving conditions, optimizing fuel economy and reducing emissions. Drivers have more fuel choices, and ethanol and natural gas can help reduce oil consumption
