FUEL COMPOSITION HAVING LOW VAPOUR PRESSURE

摘要

A liquid fuel composition is provided that is suitable use in a spark ignition engine; the composition comprises a mixture of hydrocarbons and exhibits a vapour pressure of greater than around 25 kPa and below around 50 kPa. The composition provides improvements in fuel 5 economy particularly in hybrid electric vehicles that comprise a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine as part of the powertrain. Methods and uses of the compositions are also provided.
