Maurice, Great post. Just one question, you say "got the high octane by including cheap carcinogenic aromatics." This would include benzene. And I'm curious as to which other alkanes you are referring? -R.

My respect, Mq. I'll tack the mail into my "selected few" file. The diesels nowadays are a far cry from soot generators of decades ago. Still its the same amount of C per volume of the gasoline. It's just that combustion has been improved to such levels that a) 3l/100km is a reality and b) the generated C stuff is probably in the <50 um range. Which makes it float up angellike to the top layers of our troposphere (etc etc). So it is the same problem, under changed border conditions. As an example: London was covered in soot first from rail (got electrified) then from heating (converted to gas) then from exhausts (got new engine generation). And so it continues. However, on the way, the gallon mileage, in Europe at least, dropped, I would say by a factor of two. A symptom of conditions these days over our heads in Europe: Haakon and Mette-Marit, crown prince of Norway and his consort, got badly sunburnt during one-hour interview in the open on the frontloawn of their Oslo palace. The princess had to call off her visit in Germany so the prince visited us by himself - he was ...er... quite a sorry sight. norwaypost.no
