Petrol/Gasoline
 
Automotive gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends are used in internal combustion spark-ignition engines. These spark ignition engine fuels are primarily used for passenger cars. They are also used in off-highway utility vans, farm machinery and in other spark ignition engines employed in a variety of service applications.

Gasoline is a complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons that vary widely in chemical & physical properties and are derived from fractional distillation of crude petroleum with a further treatment mainly in terms of improvement of its octane rating. The hundreds of individual hydrocarbons in gasoline range from c4 to c11.

An oxygenate is an oxygen-containing, ashless organic compound (such as an alcohol or ether) which can be used as a fuel or fuel supplement. Motor gasoline is sold at retail outlets where it is directly delivered into the automobile tank. The Indian Standard governing the properties of motor gasoline & gasoline-oxygenate blends is IS 2796 : 2000 (3rd Rev).

In view of the auto fuel policy issued by Govt of India, more & more stringent specifications (equivalent to Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV) are being made applicable for the gasolines being marketed in India. This has led to reduction of environmentally polluting factors in gasolines.

XTRAPREMIUM

IndianOil’s XTRAPREMIUM is India’s leading branded petrol boosted with new-generation multifunctional additives known as friction busters that prevent deposition in the combustion chamber. XTRAPREMIUM is custom-designed to deliver higher mileage, more power, better pick-up, faster acceleration, enhanced engine cleanliness and lower emissions.

XTRAPREMIUM is a sought-after fuel among discerning motorists, and owners of new-generation, high-performance cars have endorsed its unmatched performance.

In terms of fuel system cleanliness XTRAPREMIUM is hugely superior to any other alternative fuel in this segment, with the additional benefit of fuel efficiency through the friction modifier. The additive package contains proprietary components, including a detergent dispersant, a friction modifier and a corrosion inhibitor, as a perfectly optimised formulation in synthetic carrier oil. The detergent dispersant cleans the fuel system and the friction modifier drastically reduces friction in the non-lubricated engine area, thereby contributing to fuel economy.
