Publisher's Synopsis
Changes in the public perception of gasoline have necessitated changes in the composition of the fuel itself, so that modified fuel is now mandatory in certain US states. These reduced-emission fuels have now reached Europe and elsewhere.;This text provides information on recent legislation and technology involved for oil companies producing motor fuel, while looking at the implications for the industry and the benefits for the environment. It also looks at possible alternatives to fuels for spark ignition engines, the importance of which grows as environmental pressure increases and oil reserves are exhausted.
