This paper presents a list of indexes of physicochemical properties of commercial motot fuels and raw materials that may be used in their production. A table shows the consumption of hydrogen and the economic indexes in processing various types of raw materials to manufacture motor fuels. The calculations were preformed in application to a plant with a capacity of 5 million tonnes/yr in processing mixed Arabian crudes, heavy crude, and synthetic crudes obtained from bituminous oil, oil shale, and coal. The total prorated costs for the production and use of methanol or compressed or liquefied natural gas in automotive transport, relative to petroleum-derived gasoline, are higher by the following amounts: compressed gas 13-15%, liquefied gas 20-25%, methanol (from natural gas) 30-35%.
