A colloidal magnesium suspension is prepared by grinding 400 mesh pure magnesium (99.8+%) in dry kerosene until it reaches colloidal dimensions (from about 500 to 1 millimicron) and is thereafter added in critical low concentration of 1/5 gram as substantially pure magnesium up to about 10 grams per 10 gallons of motor gasoline whereby improved burning of the gasoline is observed as evidenced by improvement in gas mileage of about 25% for the same spark and carburetor settings as compared with the gasoline to which the colloidal magnesium has not been added. Benefits are achieved with leaded as well as unleaded gasoline. Optimum amounts of about 1 - 2 grams of colloidal magnesium in 10 gallons are preferred in order to minimize air pollution, while giving maximum benefit for fuel economy.
