Carbon and Hydrogen and Oxygen
The bulk of a typical gasoline consists of hydrocarbons with between 5 and 12 carbon atoms per molecule.
The most popular additives include aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers and alcohol (usually ethanol or methanol).
Ether is the general name for a class of chemical compounds which contain an ether group — an oxygen atom connected to two (substituted) alkyl groups. A typical example is the solvent and anesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether", (ethoxyethane, CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3).
