Abstract A comparative analysis of hydrocarbon composition of Regular Automotive Gasoline (RAG) and Artisanal Refined Gasoline (ARG) was conducted using GC-MS. Results of the analysis revealed gasoline(C4-C12) composition of 83% and (69%) in ARG and RAG, kerosene (C13-C18) composition in ARG (16 %) and RAG (28%); diesel (C19-C23) amount in ARG was (0%) and 3% in RAG. No residual oil (>C24) was detected in both samples. Pristane/phytane ratio was1.53 and 2.16 for RAG and ARG. Concentrations of n-alkane were RAG (112, 277.15 mg/l) and ARG (67,532.74 mg/l). The percentage of kerosene and diesel boiling range were higher in RAG compared to ARG. The hydrocarbon compositions of both samples were comparatively similar though in varying concentrations. Based on these findings indigenous technologies and innovations in harnessing of crude oil should be regulated and quality of gasoline distributed monitored.
