Abstract
Abstract The field of art to which this invention pertains is hydrocarbon based liquid fuel compositions having increased octane number by the use of microemulsion technique. The new composition comprises a main part of a liquid hydrocarbon mixture, water in the form of a microemulsion, an emusifier which makes possible the solubilization of the water in the hydrocarbon mixture and at least one water-soluble inorganic substance which has been dissolved in the water solubilized in the hydrocarbon mixture.
