There is disclosed a composition comprising an alloy represented by the following generic formula (A<SUB>a</SUB>)<SUB>n</SUB>(B<SUB>b</SUB>)<SUB>n</SUB>(C<SUB>c</SUB>)<SUB>n</SUB>(D<SUB>d</SUB>)<SUB>n</SUB>( . . . )<SUB>n</SUB>; wherein each capital letter and ( . . . ) is a metal; wherein A is a combustion modifier; B is a deposit modifier; C is a corrosion inhibitor; and D is a combustion co-modifier/electrostatic precipitator enhancer; wherein each subscript letter represents compositional stoichiometry; wherein n is greater than or equal to zero; and wherein the alloy comprises at least two different metals; and with the proviso that if the metal is cerium, then its compositional stoichiometry is less than about 0.7. There is also disclosed a fuel additive comprising an alloy; a fuel composition comprising the fuel additive composition; methods of making the fuel additive composition; and methods of using the disclosed alloy.
