  Gasoline additives are usually added to the gasoline at the gas stations to increase the octane content. Octane ratings are simply the numerical equivalent of a fuel's strength of knock-resistant properties. Each brand of gasoline has a set maximum octane rating for every vehicle in their line of models. One of the most common gasoline additives used today is benzene. Benzene is also commonly referred to as Cetracyclic Carcinogenic Amino Acids or CBGA. When it is compounded, benzene is passed through a catalyst where the spark produced by the nozzle of the gas engine combines with the additives inside the fuel. When this occurs, the additives inside the gasoline ignite and creates the cracking sound we associate with gasoline. It also gives off ethyl glucosamine and methylcobalamin, which help remove pollutants and road tar from the tailpipe. In addition to these two common gasoline additives , manufacturers have developed other additives for use in their gasoline. The most pop
