Abstract
A fuel additive composition containing at least one amide compound selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid alkanol amide and a hydrocarbyl amide, a polyalkylene-oxide, and a friction modifier. The fuel additive composition is surprisingly useful for improving the acceleration response and the driving performance of vehicles having internal combustion engines when used as fuel additives in hydrocarbon-based fuels, such as gasoline fuel or diesel fuel.
