This patent describes a continuous alkylation process for producing high octane gasoline. It comprises: effecting reaction of an isoparaffin containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms with an olefin containing from 2 to 12 carbon atoms at from about {minus}40{degrees} to about 500{degrees} C. and at a pressure in the range of subatmospheric to about 5000 psig using a hydrocarbon feed wherein a molar ratio of the isoparaffin to the olefin in the hydrocarbon feed is from about 0.5:1 to about 200:1 in contact with a composite catalyst comprising a Lewis acid with a non-zeolitic solid inorganic oxide in the presence of water wherein a molar ratio of the water to the Lewis acid is less than about 1:1.
