Exxon Oil Company is trying to develop an additive that will make cars save fuel. There are three potential composites, codenames: Greta100, Greta200, Greta500. However, the composites interact with ethanol, so Exxon needs to know how effective the additive is when added to 0%, 5%, and 10% ethanol gasoline. To test the mixtures, Exxon provided you with four car models: Ferrari Maserati, Lamborghini Aventador, Ford Fiesta, Toyota RAV-4. They also made available a 50-km circuit for you to test the cars.
