Abstract- This paper presents the study that aims to determine the comparative performance evaluation in terms of fuel economy (kmpl) and wide open throttle (WOT) power derived from set of different blends of high octane gasoline fuel(s) i.e., Neat Gasoline (E0), E10 & E20 (With different dosages of additives) in high compression ratio (HCR) motorcycle on chassis dynamometer facility. With Government of India focus to use alcohol as co-blend of gasoline to save foreign exchange and reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emission. The blended fuel (E10, E20) have high RON (92-100). The high RON fuel as per literature inputs have better knocking and thereby lead to higher fuel economy. There are various routes to formulate the high octane fuel (refining technologies, additive approach & ethanol blending route) in the range of 92-100 octane number which are currently commercialized in Indian market.
