Rule 2.
(1) The

Percentage by Weight of oxygen per 1% volume oxygenate
Methanol
.53%
Ethanol
.37%
Tertiary butyl alcohol
.23%
The following are examples of calculated oxygen
				  equivalents:
(a) Gasoline having 10%
				by volume ethanol. Oxygen by weight: 10 x .37 =3.7%.
(b) Gasoline having 4 1/2% by volume methanol
				and 4 1/2% by volume tertiary butyl alcohol. Oxygen by weight: 4.5 x .53 + 4.5
				x .23 = 3.4%.
