'''Ethyl ''tertiary''-butyl ether''' ('''ETBE'''), also known as '''ethyl ''tert''-butyl ether''', is commonly used as an [[oxygenate]] [[gasoline additive]] in the production of [[gasoline]] from [[crude oil]].  ETBE offers equal or greater air quality benefits than [[ethanol]], while being technically and logistically less challenging. Unlike ethanol, ETBE does not induce evaporation of gasoline, which is one of the causes of [[smog]], and does not [[hygroscopic|absorb moisture]] from the atmosphere.
