European gasoline survey shows decreasing lead, MON

Associated Octel Co. Ltd., London, has released the results of its 1994 survey of European gasoline quality. Octel collected and analyzed more than 200 gasoline samples taken from sampling points close to major European refineries. Over the past decade, Octel`s surveys have demonstrated reduced use of lead antiknock compounds and increased use of high-octane blending components. Despite increased blending of alkylate and isomerate into gasolines at European refineries, many gasolines tested had MONs close to minimum nation requirements. Figures show trends in, respectively, MON and RON, in four important European markets: France, Germany, Iberia (defined by Octel as Spain and Portugal), and the U.K.
