The invention relates to an additive for gasoline, in particular to an additive for gasoline, which can purify the tail gas discharged by a vehicle using the gasoline after being added into the gasoline and can also be used for directly replacing fuel. The additive of the invention contains methanol or ethanol, isopropanol, isobutanol, xylene, toluene, hydrogenated naphtha, isobutane, methyl tertiary butyl ether, benzyl alcohol, isopropylamine, isooctane, methyl isobutyl ketone and isohexane, wherein the weight ratio of the alcohols of the methanol or the ethanol, the isopropanol and the isobutanol accounts for 47%-55%, the weight ratio of the xylene and the toluene accounts for 19%-31%, and the weight ratio of the hydrogenated naphtha, the isobutane, the methyl tertiary butyl ether, the benzyl alcohol, the isopropylamine, the isooctane, the methyl isobutyl ketone and the isohexane accounts for 16%-23%. The invention has the advantages that after the additive is used, the content of the harmful gas in the tail gas of vehicles can be lowered, and the air pollution can be reduced, thereby reducing the damage of the tail gas of vehicles to the ozonosphere in the atmosphere and reducing the conditions of causing global warming.
