Gasoline and methanol are highly recommended for low temperature combustion (LTC) engines due to their high research octane number. However, engines fuelled with these fuels suffer from high unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions at low loads, which can be improved by controll...
