Higher Octane. So can withstand great compression without detonation. Essentially more power if mapped for it.
Koenigsegg developed a 'eco' version of the CCX, that Runs on E85 and generates more power than it could on normal petrol.

A car running on Ethanol will actually consume more fuel compared to fuel.
The main benefit is that using ethanol can be CO2 neutral, however it has some downsides if you would look at food production (exp"grain, mais). What you put in your fuel tank can not be on your diner plate...
So that's why I put this in the Tuning section
