1. A blended fuel comprising:
(a) a petroleum fuel; and
(b) a low carbon fuel
wherein the low carbon fuel is an aviation fuel 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 a petroleum fuel, and the low carbon fuel has at least two performance characteristic values measurable by ASTM tests which are about 30% improved than corresponding performance characteristic values of the petroleum fuel; 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 measurable by ASTM tests which are at least about 5% improved than corresponding performance characteristic values of the petroleum fuel.
