ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fuel for Otto cycle internal combustion engines. The fuel comprises a blend of a gasoline (A) and methanol (B) in a ratio of 10:90 to 30:70 by volume, based on the total amount of (A) and (B). Gasoline (A) is obtained by the steps of, (i) hydrotreating heavy naphtha, (ii) catalytically reforming the hydrotreated heavy naphtha to obtain a catalytically reformed gasoline, (iii) distilling the reformed gasoline to divide the reformed gasoline into three fractions (1), (2) and (3) which fractions contain hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 5 and less, from 6 to 8, and 9 and more, respectively, and (iv) mixing the two fractions of (1) and (3) either in a ratio which is the same as that in which the two fractions were obtained by distillation or in a ratio of 30:70 to 90:10 based on the total volume amount of (1) and (3).
