Gasoline (Petrol)

(OP)
There is very interesting article about gasoline at:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Gasoline

It describes the composition of gasoline, how it is manufactured, the properties that affect gasoline performance (including an explanation of how octane ratings are measured), the properties that affect air pollutant emissions, and governmental regulatory required specifications in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.

RE: Gasoline (Petrol)

what I enjoy is looking at the US low limits on olefins and aromatics.  It costs lots of energy to destroy these molecules which also have higher octane ratings.  What a waste of resources.
