Label: motor gasoline

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.

Editor note:

The term gasoline was chosen as this term is more often used in energy modelling and energy statistics. This is a deliberate deviation from the convention of British English spelling in the OEO.
