The invention discloses a power additive used for an automobile, and a preparation method thereof. The power additive is prepared from the following ingredients: methyl alcohol, C12, xylene, ethyl tert butyl ether, an emulgator OP-10, n-octyl alcohol, paranitroaniline, imidazoline petroleum barium sulfonate, laurinol, propargyl alcohol and dioctyl phthalate. The additive is hydrogen-rich carbon-containing combustible liquid, the additive is added into gasoline at the volume fraction of 30-40%, the additive can partially replace the gasoline as fuel, the quality of the gasoline can be improved,the quality of the gasoline is improved, the cost of the gasoline is lowered, the octane value of the gasoline is improved, and dynamic performance is enhanced. The ingredients of the additive are abundant and are completely combustible, in addition, an ignition point is low, carbon deposition and series problems caused by carbon deposition can be avoided, the corrosion of the methyl alcohol forautomobile metal components can be prolonged, and the swelling function of the methyl alcohol for automobile rubber components is lowered. The additive is safe and environmentally friendly, tail gas emissions are reduced by 60% than the gasoline, and each index is superior to the index of common gasoline.
