- Butane and other low vapor pressure hydrocarbons are added in the winter to increase the vaporization of gasoline at low temperatures. The mixture goes to longer carbon chains in the summer to do jus

- Propane dissolves in the other higher-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. Not that it won't come out of solution, but it's not _that_ fast. (Think of hydrochloric acid, which is hydrogen chloride (a gas)

- The problem that really develops is because they place so many detergents and additives in the gas. When you have gas evaporate off that changes the mixture of gas to additives. Evaporate off enough
