Definition:
Aviation gasoline is gasoline used as motor spirit and prepared especially for aviation piston engines, with an octane number suited to the engine, a freezing point of -60 °C and a distillation range usually within the limits of 30 °C and 180 °C.


motor gasoline
view
Definition:
Motor gasoline is gasoline consisting of a mixture of light hydrocarbons distilling between 35 °C and 215 °C. It is used as a fuel for land based spark ignition engines. Motor gasoline may include additives, oxygenates and octane enhancers, including lead compounds such as TEL and TML. Includes motor gasoline blending components (excluding additives/oxygenates), e.g. alkylates, isomerate, reformate, cracked gasoline destined for use as finished motor gasoline.
