The invention relates to motor fuel additives with enhanced properties. More specifically, the present additives improve the total fuel efficiency, and reduce the soot emission of a motor fuel. The additives are based on at least partially esterified and/or partially etherified di- or polyhydroxy hydrocarbon compounds. In a gasoline/ethanol mixture, the additive acts as a co-solvent. Further, the present additives act as octane number improving compositions. Processes for the production of the present additives are also described. |
