  • Fuel and lubricant compositions for octane requirement reduction
    Patent number: 4416669
    Abstract: The reduction of octane requirement in a spark-ignited, internal combustion engine is achieved by introducing, with the combustion intake gasoline charge, a fuel and/or lubricant composition containing an effective octane requirement reduction (ORR) amount of a compound which is both highly polar and soluble in hydrocarbons and yet relatively insoluble in water and which is represented by the formula: ##STR1## in which X has a value from one to four, Y has a value from zero to three, and R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl radical having from one to three carbon atoms.
