Thailand has started selling its E20 Gasohol, a 20% ethanol - gasoling blending, replacing MTBE. E20 is cheaper than regular gasoline in Thailand and large gasoline blenders like Shell and PTT are both offering E20 grades at some of their pump stations. E20 Gasohol (Gasoline-Ethanol) is cheaper than regular methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) blended gasoline due to Thailand's government subsidy.
Many newer Japanese and European cars should be able to tolerate E20 which is a 20% blending of ethanol as opposed to earlier version of E10, using 10% blending of ethanol. Thailand has a strong policy towards biofuels and widespread use of ethanol blended gasoline has been seen in the starting with B2, a 2% biodiesel blend in petroleum diesel.
