Automotive gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends are used in internal
combustion spark-ignition engines. These spark ignition engine fuels are
primarily used for passenger cars. They are also used in off-highway utility
vans, farm machinery and in other spark ignition engines employed in a variety
of service applications.

Gasoline is a complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons that vary
widely in chemical & physical properties and are derived from fractional
distillation of crude petroleum with a further treatment mainly in terms of
improvement of its octane rating. The hundreds of individual hydrocarbons in
gasoline range from c4
to c11.
An oxygenate is an oxygen-containing, ashless organic compound (such as an
alcohol or ether) which can be used as a fuel or fuel supplement. Motor gasoline
is sold at retail outlets where it is directly delivered into the automobile
tank. The Indian Standard governing the properties of motor gasoline &
gasoline-oxygenate blends is IS 2796 : 2000 (3rd Rev).

In view of the auto fuel policy issued by Govt of India, more & more stringent
specifications (equivalent to Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV) are being made
applicable for the gasolines being marketed in India. This has led to reduction
of environmentally polluting factors in gasolines.
