The prompt asks for the well-to-wheels efficiency of an internal combustion engine (ICE) powered by liquid hydrocarbon biofuel (low) and requests a whole-number percentage.
First, recognize there are no answer options provided to compare against, so we cannot weigh choices against alternatives in this case. The typical reasoning path would involve separating well-to-wheels efficiency into stages: well-to-tump (well-to-tank) includes feedstock production, processing, and fuel production, while tank-to-wheel covers the engine and drivetrain efficiency up to the wheels.
For liquid hydrocarbon biofuels, especially of the “low” category, the energy content and processing losses can reduce the overall efficiency relative to conventional fossil fuels. Well-to-tank efficiency tends to be lower due to agricultural inputs, processing energy, and transportation. Tank-to-wheel efficiency of an ICE remains dominated by thermodynamic limits, engine design, friction, and drivetrain losses. When combining the two segments, the overall well-to-wheels figure for a biofuel can be in the lower end of the typical ICE range, often cited in energy analyses as a single-digit to low-teens percentage when considering the full chain, depending on the precise biofuel type and efficiency assumptions.
Next, consider what the numeric target represents: a single whole-number percentage. If the dataset or exam materials specify a low biofuel scenario, a value around the low teens or around 10–12% might be reported in some analyses, acknowledging substantial losses in the upstream stages.
Because there are no answer choices to evaluate for correctness or to contrast common misconceptions, we can highlight some pitfalls students might encounter: assuming well-to-wheels equals tank-to-wheels, which neglects feedstock and processing energy; assuming all biofuels improve WTW efficiency without accounting for upstream losses; or overestimating vehicle efficiency by ignoring drivetrain losses and real-world usage patterns.
In summary, when confronted with a low brush of biofuel in an ICE and asked to provide a whole-number WTW efficiency, the calculation context would typically drive toward a modest percentage that reflects both upstream energy costs and engine/drive losses. The result is often situated in the low-teens range, rather than a high efficiency figure, due to the cumulative losses across the well-to-tank and tank-to-wheels pathways.
