No its still 40 certane. It use to be easy to make fuel 40 certane, oil refiners could do it with out even trying. The new process makes them work to hit 40.
Less sulfur doesn't make it better.
Stripping off the sulfur pretty much removes all the lube properties the fuel has. Fuel lube has to be added back in after its made, further increasing the cost.
Adding ethanol or other oxygen containing compounds to gasoline does not make it better.
Just because something is new doesn't mean it is better. Its better for some agendas but not all.
