Abstract
The increase in the consumption of low octane fuel in Ecuador has meant a loss of performance in engines, to solve this problem a higher octane is needed due to new technologies, taking into account the increase in gasoline prices, it has been decided to use different additives, through this research the influence that additives have on the fuel consumption of vehicles was determined through an analysis in real conditions of the variations in fuel efficiency, using the fuel that is distributed locally and additives that are offered in the DMQ, The quantitative method was implemented with a vehicle of Korean origin with which several combined cycle route tests were carried out using two types of fuel and with the mixture of different additives, an external tank was placed in order to have an exact measurement taking into account the EPA FTP 75 regulations and what the manufacturer's manual says with the geography in which we are located, it was determined that gasoline 6 with additive 2 obtained a significant saving compared to the other tests carried out where a great variation was not obtained in order to determine a lower consumption both in positive slopes and in negative slopes.
