What is Gasoline (Mogas)?

TheGasoline (Motor Gasoline / Mogas) is a flammable liquid fuel derived from crude oil distillation and catalytic reforming/cracking processes. It is primarily intended for spark-ignition internal combustion engines.

On international markets, the European benchmark quality is based on standard EN 228 (Eurobob), available in various formulations depending on the season (summer/winter vapor pressure) and bioethanol blending (E5, E10).
