  "term": "Oxygenates",
  "field": "Transportation",
  "definition": "Any substance that when added to motor gasoline increases the amount of oxygen in that gasoline blend.

Oxygenated fuel tends to give a more complete combustion of carbon into carbon dioxide (rather than monoxide), thereby reducing air pollution from exhaust emissions.",
