The German government has been planning to launch a biofuel blend but that plan might be postponed.
Sources say too many cars cannot process biofuels. Industry analysts in the country say more than 2 million cars in the country can't run on biofuels and there was a 1-million car limit the government installed as a condition.
The sources said that some 330,000 cars made by German manufacturers, as well as more than 2 million imported cars, could not run on the new fuel and that the cars' owners would be forced to fill up with higher octane, more expensive types of gas.
The controversial plan to include a 10-percent biofuel blend plans could be slowed if it seemed likely that vehicle engines would be damaged by the mixture, a spokesperson for the German Environment Ministry said on Wednesday, April 2.
