Alkylate is a gasoline blending component made by joining isobutane and butylene or propylene. The result as a branched paraffin which, as the posting says, has no aromatics or olefins. This makes it a very stable product and indeed it probably has cleaner burning characteristics as well as much lower oxidation potential in storage. A fraction of this historically was used as aviation grade gasoline. Here in the states, i dont believe it is readily available as a stand alone product. If it was, I would probably consider it for use in lawn mower, etc as a winter fill that would not need stabilizer. I think it would be impractical to fuel a car with something you have to buy in gallon jugs at 3X the cost of gasoline.
