Scope
This SAE Recommended Practice summarizes the composition of modern automotive gasolines, the significance of their physical and chemical characteristics, and the pertinent test methods for defining or evaluating these properties.
Rationale
Gasoline accounts for nearly half of all crude oil consumed in the U.S. The oil, automobile, and fuel additive industries have worked together for many decades to determine the composition and properties of gasoline required to provide satisfactory vehicle operation. This work is ongoing. Since the late 1960s, environmental concerns have led to federal and state regulations to reduce emissions from vehicles and from petroleum storage and transportation facilities.
This SAE Recommended Practice discusses the characteristics of gasoline, common test methods, specifications developed by ASTM International, government regulations, and the effects of gasoline composition and properties on vehicle performance, fuel economy, emissions, and durability.

Issuing Committee
Fuels and Lubricants TC 7 Fuels Committee
The Fuels Technical Committee 7 is responsible for the development of SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, Information Reports and related information pertinent to the technical aspects of fuels for internal combustion engines used in ground vehicles. The Truck and Bus J1616 Task Force has been formed under the committee's direction. Participants in the SAE Fuels Technical Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
