Improved fuel additive formulations and methods of using and making the fuel formulations are described. The improved fuel additives of the present invention include a mixture of nitroparaffins (including nitromethane, nitroethane, and nitropropane), modified commercial ester oils and / or solubilizer combinations, and / or toluene. The ratio of ester oil and / or solubiliser and / or toluene to nitroparaffin is preferably less than 20% by volume, the nitroparaffins constituting the balance of the additive. Methods for making and using additive formulations are also provided. |
