Abstract
A composition suitable for use as an additive to gasoline to increase the efficiency of use thereof comprising, in solution: about 10 to about 35 percent by volume of a zirconium salt of an organic acid; about 10 to about 35 percent by volume of a plasticizer boiling above 300.degree. C. and comprising as a part of its structure an ester group or an aromatic group, or both; and from 0 to about six percent by volume of an organic acid capable of forming a salt with zirconium. A solvent for said zirconium salt and said plasticizer may be provided comprising a hydrocarbon or a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, as a major component of the solvent.
