PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a low-pollution gasoline substitute fuel which is free from a harmful exhaust gas, such as a sulfur oxide, causing an environmental pollution and is used for an internal combustion engine of high efficiency and high power. SOLUTION: The gasoline substitute fuel comprises mainly alcohols and consists of 51-60 wt.% alcohol mixture comprising ethanol and/or methanol, isopropyl alcohol and isobutanol [the mixing ratio being (9 to 6):(1.5 to 0.5):(2 to 1)], 20±5 wt.% 5-8C paraffinic hydrocarbon and 30±5 wt.% toluene. The fuel can maintain a power comparable to a gasoline without using a gasoline or a reformed gasoline together while the generation of harmful gases such as sulfur oxides is reduced.
