1. A blended fuel comprising:
a) a petroleum fuel; and
b) a low carbon fuel wherein the low carbon fuel is a hydrocarbon that has a well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content which is at least about 50% lower than a well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content of the petroleum fuel, and the low carbon fuel has a sulfur content of less than 5 ppm and a cetane number greater than 65; and
wherein the blended fuel has a well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content which is at least 5% lower than the well-to-wheels greenhouse gas content of the petroleum fuel, and the blended fuel has at least two performance characteristic values selected from a group of performance characteristic values consisting of cetane number and sulfur content which are at least about 5% improved than corresponding performance characteristic values of the petroleum fuel, wherein the blended fuel is a non-ester hydrocarbon fuel that meets the specification of ASTM D975.
