Abstract
The present invention is directed to an on-demand, on-board vehicle system and process the for conversion of a starting fuel comprising saturated hydrocarbons to a final fuel comprising one or more unsaturated hydrocarbons using an on-board reactor. The final fuel may have a higher Research Octane Number (RON) and/or lower cetane number than the starting fuel and may be supplied to an on-board engine only when the engine load requires a fuel with a higher RON and/or lower cetane number than the starting fuel, which also minimizes or eliminates the operating inefficiencies of octane "give away" and maximizes the economic operation of the vehicle.
