Abstract
A relatively safe and efficient synthetic fuel composition consists of an aromatic hydrocarbon and an alcohol, most notably a mixture of toluene and n-butyl alcohol. It is especially adapted for use as an emergency reserve fuel; however, because the composition may be derived entirely from non-petroleum sources, it also has value as an extender for gasoline.

A relatively safe automobile fuel composition consisting of an aromatic hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of benzene and toluene, and at least one C.sub.1 and C.sub.5 alcohol, said aromatic hydrocarbon and alcohol being present in a volumetric ratio of about 1:4 to 4:1.
